We have been in this house for coming up two years. We have grown lots of grasses and bushes and have noticed a huge amount of tiny birds have moved in. Our plan from the beginning was to make our garden a mini nature reserve by planting native plants, no chemicals and by letting everything just be. We are ever so pleased that the garden is attracting new and exciting bird species such as these Thornbills, White Browed Scrubrens, Fantails and more Eastern Spinebills. #australianbirds #warneet #easternspinebill #birdsofinstagram #birdsofaustralia #westernport #coastalvillages #birds #victorianbirds #birdwatching #birdphotography #birdlovers #aussiebackyardbirdcount #ozbirds #australia #wearetheark #gardenforwildlife
The Eastern Spinebills are back in the garden and I am thrilled. This year they’ve bought their mates. #australianbirds #warneet #easternspinebill #birdsofinstagram #birdsofaustralia #westernport #coastalvillages #birds #victorianbirds #birdwatching #birdphotography #birdlovers #aussiebackyardbirdcount #ozbirds #australia #wearetheark #gardenforwildlife

Learning to love the blur…. These little Brown Thornbills are everywhere in our garden at the moment. Yesterday they were joined by Grey Fantails and our resident Eastern Spine-Bill. I took this from the front verandah and while it’s a little blurry, like most photos sometimes the less than perfect ones catch the best moments. #australianbirds #warneet #easternspinebill #birdsofinstagram #birdsofaustralia #westernport #brownthornbill #birds #victorianbirds #birdwatching #birdphotography #birdlovers #aussiebackyardbirdcount #ozbirds #australia
After three months of being hunted out by a bunch of breeding Wattlebirds my favourite friend is back in our garden feasting on Kangaroo Paw. This little Eastern Spinebill is an absolute joy. #australianbirds #warneet #easternspinebill #birdsofinstagram #birdsofaustralia #westernport #coastalvillages #birds #victorianbirds #birdwatching #birdphotography #birdlovers #aussiebackyardbirdcount #ozbirds #australia #gardenforwildlife
I’ve been watching this Tawny Frogmouth sitting on its nest along the track for three weeks and finally one chick is visible.

The new addition to the resident Kookaburra family just out of the hollow yesterday.

Inktober Days 21-23 Last day of the #aussiebackyardbirdcount today. I've submitted 2 counts, one at #herdsmanlake and the other in my backyard. #australianbirds #australianshelduck #buffbandedrail #inkdrawing #birddrawing #inktober2023
I needed a recharge weekend and for me that is heading bush. It was a great way to also try out our new caravan, do some armchair birding and of course sneak in a short 5km trail run along the Avon river walking track 😌 #avonmthendrickscenicreserve #avonriverwalkingtrack #jaycojourneyoutback #armchairbirding #aussiebackyardbirdcount #myrunningjourney #iloverunning #everyrunisagift #run #runhappy #runningmybestlife #runaddict #runtoinspire #gippsland #thisgirlcanvic #trailrunning #trailrunner #trailrun #trailrunninglife #lifeisbeautiful #onelifemanytrails #lifeisrunning #livetorun

#Repost @sophies.little.library ・・・ It's Aussie Backyard Bird Count time! From the 16th-22nd October, take 20 minutes of your day outside and observe the birds you see. You can submit your count and which birds you saw on the Aussie Bird Count website - I've linked it in mv bio if you want to take part. EXCELLENT timing to show you all this gem of a book - Backyard Birdies by @andygeppert.books is a funny and quirky field guide to birds known to Australian children and grown ups. It would be a brilliant accompaniment to Bird Count week, although I'm not sure ornamental flamingos (or falingos, as my daughter calls them) can be counted. This book was given my to daughter this week from her Nan, who, incidentally, she knows as 'Birdie’. Growing up my sisters and I differentiated between our two Nans by calling them 'Woof Nan' and 'Cat Nan' because they owned dogs and cats respectively (duh), so it made perfect sense that my ornithologically inclined mother would be referred to as Bird Nan, which has turned into Birdie. Cute! Long story short - count the birds, buy this book... you'll have lots of fun with both. (This is a repost from a couple of years ago - no need to reinvent the wheel - because this is always a fun time of year!)

It’s Aussie Bird Count Week…. A week when we are all invited to become ornithologists and record our citizen scientist data to determine the number of various species of birds and their locations throughout Australia… This is super important on many levels, including being able to track environmental and habitat changes. At our Tomerong site we have noticed the appearance of several species of birds we’ve never previously seen here… which then has us wondering and asking the questions of tracking… Who? Where? Why? It’s also a great opportunity to revisit our nature connection practice of bird language and sit spots… taking time to deeply know the baseline of the bush and become tuned in to disturbances and changes. Join the #aussiebirdcount2023 by downloading the app and spending 20mins watching the birds. #aussiebirdcount #aussiebackyardbirdcount #birdlanguage #deepnatureconnection Bird shapes by @bushknowingforestschool - thanks Jo ❤️

This week is the Aussie Backyard Bird Count! 🐦🦆🦉🦅 By taking part in the Aussie Bird Count the children will become citizen scientists. Citizen science creates opportunities for students to connect with the natural world, gain scientific skills, and learn about topics such as life cycles, habitats, adaptations, and interrelationships. This can be a gateway to many exciting discoveries and creates a partnership between the students and professional scientists to help answer questions scientists couldn’t answer on their own. 🐦🦆🦉🦅 This will be an amazing fun activity for the whole family!! Birds and their population numbers are important for indicating overall health of ecosystems, making them a bio-indicator species. .

🌳🦜👀 “Hi from cabin #9. At check-in we were talking about the birds. “...you do have a pair of Australasian Little Grebes on the pond plus Grey Teal and Pacific Black Duck… … large flock of Red-rumped Parrots flying around. A Black-fronted Dotterel with a mounted foot was also on the pond yesterday… …amongst other birds there are also Jacky Winter and small flocks of Yellow-rumped Thornbill.

What sort of bird would you like to see me paint? In 2021 I created a successful little series of bird paintings. Next month I’m planning on releasing another small collection of bird paintings to coincide with the Backyard bird count. I’ve got a list of 10 of my favourite local birds that I will be painting. I’d love to know if yours are the same as mine! Hit me with your recommendations. If you’d like to see my ideas check my stories for the list 😊🦜

Third pic for the real life inspo out my back gate.
Getting back to basics today, pencil and handwriting for some online work. Old school pencil, and new school pencil.
Noticed a theme yet? Oh and for new followers…this is collage ✂️
Laughing Kookaburra . . Another great picture by @willterryfauna of a kookaburra in one of our very early chainsaw-carved hollows in Bayside, thanks for sending it in . Data collected by citizen scientists in the third year of the Aussie Backyard Bird Count suggests that we could be seeing a decline in our friend, the Kookaburra, in urban environments in the eastern capital cities . We have ongoing habitat projects in place with progressive councils like Bayside City Council, who are installing lots of urban habitat opportunities and retaining remnant trees as habitat trees . There is an article on @theconversationdotcom if you'd like to read more about it . Meanwhile, we will continue to create hollows and urban habitat for the Kookaburra . . #baysidecitycouncil #bayside #willterryfauna #kookaburra #dacelonovaeguineae #chainsawcarvedhollow #ironbarkenviroarb #urbanhabitat #decline #melbourne #victoria #theconversation #theconversationdotcom #workwithcouncils #progressive #ecology #birdata #aussiebackyardbirdcount #aussiebackyardbirdcount2022 #birdlife #citizenscientists #birdlifeaustraliaapp #springstreetreserve @baysidecitycouncil Bayside City Council, Victoria https://instagram.com/theconversationdotcom?igshid=YzdkMWQ2MWU=

Rainbow Lorikeets in our backyard. It is raining so I had to take the photos from inside the house. I guess rain, hail or sunshine they need their nectar. #rainbowlorikeet #aussiebackyardbirdcount #aussiebirds #aussiebirdcount
Aussie Backyard Bird Count…. What a wonderful week of counting birds we had here at CHCCD on Yuggera Country. From our babies right through to our Kindergarten children, each day we took time out of our day to connect to nature and count the birds which provided us with opportunities to discuss species, habitats of the various birds, colour, flight, and more. During the week we were excited to see our friendly bush turkeys at Bush Kindy, our local duck family who come to eat the raspberries from our bush Tucker garden and also a nest full of baby honey eaters who have found a home in our playground which we have had the privilege of observing, as the mother and father honey eaters feed their young way up high in the safety of their nest. We also had a visit from Jarad from @sustainabletreecare who very kindy came in to share two rainbow lorikeets he had rescued while at work. #aussiebackyardbirdcount #aussiebackyardbirdcount2022 #birdlifeaustralia #birds #birdcount #birdwatching #whatsthatbird #earlychildhoodeducation #earlychildhoodeducators #connectingtocountry #yuggeracountry #outdoors #natureplay #natureplayqldeducationproviders #natureplayqld #thegreatoutdoors #theimportanceofoutdoorplay #chccd
Well today was the last day of the Aussie Backyard Bird Count Week! I love partaking in the bird count. It’s such a great way of getting to know the birds in your backyard! It’s always a good challenge too! Today I photographed this group of Peaceful Doves. I love how cute they look as they perch in the tree with their feathers all puffed up! #aussiebirdcount #aussiebirdcountweek #aussiebackyardbirdcount #birdsinourbackyard #peacefuldove #australianbirds #wildernessretreat #wildernesslandtrust #kookaburracreekretreat #birdenthusiast #southernflindersranges

To celebrate National bird week I spent the afternoon in the studio picking up the thread from a trip to Brookfield conservation park…it’s been sitting waiting patiently for nearly 2yrs!! I’m Curious to know if other artists have work waiting around that takes time to return to and what motivates you to revisit unfinished work…? #chestnutbreastedquailthrush #aussiebackyardbirdcount #birdlifeaustralia #studiodays #ornithologyart #birdsofsouthaustralia #rainydays #unfinishedartwork
Day 4 & 5 of National Bird Week (because I missed yesterday!!) - There are two species of Kookaburras within Australia. First pictured is the Blue-winged Kookaburra, found mainly up north. Second pictured is the Laughing Kookaburra, found mostly throughout eastern Australia. An interesting fact about the blue-winged Kookaburra is that it cannot laugh! It makes more of a barking sound 💙 #nationalbirdweek #aussiebackyardbirdcount #kookaburra #bluewingedkookaburra #laughingkookaburra #australianbirds #australianflora #birdphotography #birdwatching #birdsofaustralia #nativeaustralianbirds #birdweek #earlyyearseducation #exploringnature #natureplay #outdooreducation #outdoors #wildlife

Bird enthusiasts have you ever spotted a Rose-crowned Fruit Dove? These sweet birds are quite shy and live high in the rainforest canopy. If you do spot one don't forget to mark it down. #AussieBackyardBirdCount #BirdEnthusiast #Bird #RoseCrownedFruitDove #Family #WildLifeSydneyZoo #ILoveSydney #SeeAustralia #LoveNSW #AnimalsofInstagram #Zoo #Australia #Sydney #DarlingHarbour #NSW #VisitNSW #Animals #WildLife
A pair of Willie Wagtail, (Rhipidura leucophrys) building their nest only about three metres of the main boardwalk and seat at the Stolen Generation’s memorial in the Australian Botanic gardens, Mount Annan. The pair of them are building the nest taking turns getting bulrush fluff and cobwebs, this shot shows the cobwebs being laid by running the necks over the edge of the nest. Shot using the Canon 800mm RF lens. So a fair way back for this shot, plenty of people walking past not even aware of the construction going on here just over the Mount Annan creek. There will be plenty of people that sit on the bench there their backs to the nest. #bathiesbirdclub #abcmyphoto #mchfeature #canonaustralia #bird #birds #birdsofinstagram #australianbirds #eye_spy_birds #aussiebackyardbirdcount #birdphotography #birdlovers #bird_perfection #bird_captures #bird_brillance #birds_bees_flowers_n_trees #bird_lovers_daily #birdlife_insta #inspirenaturenow #nuts_about_birds #planet_birds #nature_of_our_world #birds_adored #live_love_wildlife #nature_worldwide_birds #ausgeo #naturephotography #canon800mmf11 #birdemergency
