Meet Sir Splendid Fairy-wren (Adult-Male) as part of Aussie backyard buddies series. This handsome young cobalt-blue bird is ready to attract a female wren to start a family!
As most of you know I've formed a bit of a bond with some of my local wild birds (mainly magpies). As a result I take many photos and videos of them. I'd like to be able to share them somewhere dedicated to that type of content. What should I call the instagram account? I would love some ideas please! #aussiemagpie #australianmagpie #birdsinbackyards #aussiebackyardbirds #magpies
We ID a new bird today! Check out this Pallid Cuckoo having a little stretch, 15m up in the tree tops! “Bend over let me see you shake your tail feathers!” 🎶🕺🎶😆🎶 We followed his repeated mellow call along our Sheoak Loop Trail until we found him and took the opportunity to take some pretty cool snaps! Do you love bird watching and photography as much as us? When you visit our retreat you’ll be in your element! @southernflindersranges #lovemyzoomcamera #pallidcuckoo #letmeseeyoushakeyourtailfeathers #birdsinourbackyard #aussiebackyardbirds #birdphotography #tailfeather #kookaburracreekretreat #southernflinders #birdenthusiast #birdwatchers #birdsofinstagram

‘A magical Bird Hide.’ Recent guests staying left a comment in our guest book saying that with the amazing panoramic views from inside the Kookaburra House, it was like a magical bird hide! They witnessed many different bird varieties busily building nests in the surrounding garden and bushland and going about their daily business completely unknowing of anyone’s presence. Perfect during these cool wintry days, to relax inside the comfort of our cosy, warm accommodation while observing the wildlife and feeling you’re out and amongst nature! Our Kookaburra House is available this weekend! @southernflindersranges For bookings contact us via the link in our bio. #birdhide #observingwildlife #australiannativebirds #birdsinourbackyard #aussiebackyardbirds #kookaburrahouse #kookaburracreekretreat #southernflindersranges #flindersranges #experiencenature #forthenaturelovers #stayinthebush #getbacktonature #birdenthusiast #forthebirdwatchers

Have you ever set something up, thought about it carefully and pictured in your mind that it would be such a good one to get on camera? Then... get totally engrossed in the play that all you manage in the end is a few quick snaps, while also catching up to your little as she heads off to play with something else. 🙈 You know it was nothing short of all kinds of fun, if that's the case. 😆 Oh and Happy National Bird Week! 🪶 We are on the lookout for our favourite Aussie backyard birds this week and have all sorts of fun activities planned, so stay tuned for more Lil 🐦 adventures! . . . . . . . . . . . #recyleandplay #recyclecraft #recyclingideas #reducereuserecycle #cardboardcrafts #cardboardplay #eggcartoncraft #eggcartoncraftsforkids #playathomewithme #earlylearning #preschoolathome #easypeasyplay #gdayandplay #lowpreplearningideas #nationalbirdweek #aussiebackyardbirds #aussiebackyardbirdcount2021
The Aussie Backyard Bird Count starts today. And if you’re looking for Aussie birds, it’s hard to go past the cockatoo. Here is a rogue's gallery of four cockies, taken from William Frederick Martyn’s ‘A New Dictionary of Natural History; or, Compleat Universal Display of Animated Nature’, which was published in London by Harrison & Co in 1785. You may not have one of these around your back yard but download the app, open your eyes and ears and see what birds are out there. By taking part in the Bird Count, you will be helping to map Australia’s birdlife. Image 1: 'Great Black Cockatoo'; Image 2: 'Greater Cockatoo'; Image 3 'White Red-vented Cockatoo'; Image 4: 'White Yellow-crested Cockatoo'. Unknown artist, Harrison & Co, publisher, 1785. engraving on paper, hand-coloured. Purchased with funds from the Hilton White Bequest, 2013.

Stalking this Intermediate Egret for half and hour today and was waiting for it to take off.

Been trying all week to capture a photo of the eastern spinebill who takes a bath here every morning at 9am. Thought I’d succeeded today but all there is to be seen are the splash marks on the rim. He’s too quick! Swipe to see what a spinebill looks like. . . . #backyardbirds #australianbirds #aussiebackyardbirds #easternspinebill #canberrabirds #acanthorhynchustenuirostris

"Cooling off" after a hot day These two feathered friends were enjoying a splash in my birdbath last evening. A Red Wattlebird and a female Satin Bowerbird. #twobirdstogether #birdsatbirdbath #aussienativebirds🇦🇺 #shirlsbirds2020 #bluemountainsbirdlife #aussiebackyardbirds 🇦🇺🦜🐦
We had so much fun today counting birds living in our backyard! In the sandy dunes and surrounding parkland full of native grasses, beside the Frankston foreshore, we spotted Rainbow lorikeets, Welcome swallows, Wattle birds, Magpies, Seagulls, Common Indian Mynas, Magpie Larks, Pink Galahs, House sparrows, a Butcher Bird, Spotted Doves and a Pied Currawong. Beautiful artistic representation of our favourite birds, created by families and their children 0-6 years. Top effort at being citizen scientists today ‘Natured Kids’. 🦅🦜🦆
"Good Morning!" An inquisitive male Australian King Parrot perched on our deck this morning while we ate breakfast. #brekkybirds #birdondeck #australiankingparrot #redbird #ilovewildbirds #aussiebackyardbirds 🐦
