Temporary post to get all the birds I saw at Bowra into my life list. Apostlebird Australasian Grebe Australian Magpie Australian Raven Australian Ringneck Australian Wood Duck Black Kite Black-breasted Buzzard Black-faced Woodswallow Black-fronted...
This is the same bird (or it’s partner – both birds take turns at sitting on the eggs) as in this photo.
I always called these Lapwing Plovers, but apparently that’s not correct. Or not correct anymore. Or something. Anyway, they’re often found in pairs, fiercely defending their nest, which is actually just a small depression...
The chicks are gorgeous, and very curious, running all about the place, while their parents keep a careful eye and make sure they’re not getting too close to people.
