Sky Puppy ! I finished up around 5pm today, and the fruit bats were starting to leave their roost to go and forage for food. This one flew almost directly at me, and I managed two reasonable shots. #BlackFlyingFox #FruitBat #Bat #AustralianWildlife #WildOz

Since it has been quite wet[1] here today, I thought I'd check in on the nesting Tawny Frogmouth. Poor chap is somewhat damp, but still doing his duty on the nest. [1] 150mm of rain since midnight, as at time of posting. #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #TawnyFrogmouth #Bird #Nest

We had this gorgeous #AustralianHobby visit our pine tree. Very cooperative, and gave us plenty of time to take photos. Then it took off to have a disagreement with the Brown Goshawk that has also been hanging around our place. Once that had been seen off, it came back and posed some more! Shot on a #NikonP900 and processed in #Snapseed . #raptor #birding #AustralianBirds #photography #naturephotography #backyardnature #WildOz

Owls have been eluding me on my see as many bird species in the wild as possible quest. Finally got to see one (with some help) and it was the perfectly named Powerful Owl! #birds #birding #wildoz #owl

This Sulphur-crested Cockatoo (Cacatua galerita) dropped into our front garden to feast on pods of a Mount Morgan Wattle (Acacia podalyriifolia). #BirdPhotograhy #AustralianBirds #OwnPics #WildOz #FediBirds #OMSystem

Aussies: need motivation to go outside and want to do something useful? In 3 weeks time the Aussie Bird Count is happening. You just go outside anywhere you like, count the number of each type of bird you see and log the counts on the easy to use app or website. You don’t have to be a bird nerd, the app has good tools to help you identify what you’re seeing. The data helps scientists identify changes in bird populations and locations, something that’s even more important with bird flu on the loose https://aussiebirdcount.org.au #wildoz #birds #birding

Look, up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a Glossy Black Cockatoo, thats endangered because we took all of our Allocasuarinas to line pockets of the rich. #BirdPhotography #BirdsofAustralia #BirdsofFediverse #FediBirds #Photography #Wildlife #BirdsofMastodon #AustralianBirds #BirdWatching #Fedibird #birdbot #Birding #darktable #wildoz #melbourne #oz #australia #birds

King parrots are very unusual in the northern suburbs of #melbourne so this was a nice surprise on my walk today. I think these should be the mascot of Christmas in Australia #birds #birding #wildoz #wildlife

A small sample of the "too many frogs to count" I found when leaving the office this afternoon. The usual reeds were covered in tiny frogs. Well in excess of 30. #TinyFrog #EasternDwarfTreeFrog #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #frog

Finally got to see my first white skink! #Wildlife #darktable #wildoz #melbourne #oz #australia #wildlifeAustralia #Lizard #Skink

A damp, and slightly dirty Kookaburra on my clothesline the other day. #bird #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #LaughingKookaburra

I counted 30 tiny Eastern Dwarf Tree Frogs on the reeds by my walk to the office this morning. Spring is definitely starting to announce itself. #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #Frog #EasternDwarfTreeFrog

I waited 3 hours for this shot until sunset, just so I can see the possum awake. My back hurts now from standing. But worth it. I love you possum #Photography #Wildlife #darktable #wildoz #melbourne #oz #australia #mammals #marsupials #possums
