He's back, but a bit shorter...

Recovering after surgery is boring, but look what I found while exploring my yard! This Graceful Tree Frog was barely an inch long, how precious. 🐸

Need help identifying (Hasties Swamp, Tablelands, Queensland))

Happy Wrensday! Here's a selection of Australian wrens (Family Maluridae) for your perusal. No grasswrens today though, I feel like they deserve a separate post!

Unfortunately, I've returned to QLD earlier than expected after an emergency 🥲 but it's Wrensday! Here are some of the Australian wrens for your viewing pleasure. Most of these are local to SEQ, but I hope you guys also like the out-of-town finds 😁

G'day friends. I've moved temporarily to the NT, but I'll be back! In the meantime, enjoy this Black Falcon which I encountered just outside Toowoomba while driving to Darwin. A rare visitor to Brisbane, but occasionally seen just west of the Great Dividing Range. Look at those giant claws! 😬

Swift parrots! In Toowoomba!

Hobart, Tasmania bird identification

Long time no see, friends! I have brought you something incredibly special today. In Queensland, the Superb Lyrebird is only found in the Granite Belt region, and the winter months are the best times to spy one calling. I was able to crouch behind a burnt out log and record this one performing 🎵🎵

A special treat to kick off the year! A family of Ground Cuckooshrikes have set up shop near Lake Atkinson and made it their summer home. These rare and impressive birds are always lovely to see.

Not the greatest video I know, but I’m stumped as to hoo this guy was in my tree last night. Central Coast NSW

Australia's rarest waterbird has paid Brisbane a visit!! 🚨 With only 340 individuals left in the wild across the country, these Australian Painted-Snipes are definitely worth having a look at.

Here's one that may be familiar to many of you...every spring and summer, Brisbane plays host to the largest cuckoo species in the world. Channel-Billed Cuckoos are often heard (at all hours of the day...) with their distinctive screeching croaks. Have you seen or heard them around? 😊

Curious, social, and spherical! Brown Quail are among my favourite birds in Brisbane. Here are a few portraits of them 🤎🤎

Birds around Brisbane - identification would be welcome

This one's a special one for me. After 8 months of searching, I finally found a Lewin's Rail out in the open. A bird that's heard far more often than seen, these skulkers are common, but shy inhabitants of Brisbane's creeks and waterways. 😍
