Double-barred Finch
I only recently posted a scanned photo that I took many years ago, of Finches in my garden when I lived in the Sunshine Coast. Finally I have reasonable shots that I’ve taken of...
White-throated Gerygone
Also known as White-throated Warbler. (Gerygones are Australian Warblers.) Initially we thought this was either an Eastern Yellow Robin or a Pale Yellow Robin, but the facebook Bird ID group helped out.
Mistletoebird
When I lived on the Sunshine Coast mistletoebirds were regular visitors to my backyard. These are the first I’ve seen in over twenty years! It was so good to find a pait 🙂 I...

Grey-tailed Tattler

Crested Tern

Eastern Curlew
It’s a pity these are always against such an awful dull background! But I suppose that if they stand in the middle of vast open spaces it helps to blend in. Anyway, I’m sure...
Sacred Kingfisher
I think these are much better than my previous photos of Sacred Kingfishers. Such a lovely little bird.
Brahminy Kite
Not sure why I didn’t post this, but I found it checking my unattached images. Still, nice Kite 🙂
