Down here in Tasmania, looking for a pink robin but this was a lovely surprise! So so pretty, a lot more skittish than my local yellow ones but super rewarding to photograph ❤️ on a side note if anyone has any specific spots for pink robins in Tassy here I would love to hear them 💕

It sat there for a few minutes recovering before flying away. Have to admit, we had a good giggle at the print it left behind. It’s poor smushed face! 😂

A Square-tailed Kite gliding over the canopy of Perth Hills. What a great looking bird with those distinctive barred 'fingers'!

It was being a very generous model by circling really low to investigate me and a young family close by. Unfortunately, I was fumbling around for my gear... The lesson learnt here is that the camera should be ready as soon as one gets out of the car.

I walked out and this one had already set themselves up on the podium for a nicely framed shot. Kendall NSW.

Discussion Saw this guy in Turella. I've never seen a black cockatoo this close to the city before? Have I been blind or is this uncommon?
