Hello everyone. I'm so glad that spring has arrived for you all. Autumn is here and is most welcome after another long, dry, hot summer. I've been lurking but have had nothing to post for such a long time. Here are a few of our birds from recent times.

Little Corella.

Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike (juvenile)
A small section of a large group of Little Black Cormorants.

An extreme close-up of a juvenile Australian Raven. It was about to try and swallow my iPhone. This huge bird has adopted us and our resident raven, but I expect it will disappear once the new breeding season arrives. We've named it Bomber as it flies at us when we walk outside, brushing us with its wings. It jumps all over us or lands on our respective heads, shoulders and if we make the mistake of sitting down outside, it tugs at shoelaces, the pockets of my jeans or anything that we happen to be holding. It was looking really ratty when I took this photo. It's now a glorious, glossy magenta black.
