Beskrivelse: Very elegant bird - both 'design' and in the air

Titel: hun og 4 store ællinger

Beskrivelse: Very vocal when out in the open... here singing from a prefered site in the Angelica (DK: Kvan; latin: Angelica archangelica) Costal scrub between road and coastline. After winds from SE and S prior to this weekend birding was excellent ... also Citrine Wagtail at Salthammer/Snogebæk. And Commeon Rosefinch.

Beskrivelse: Credit to Louis Poulsen and Otto Sorgenfri for finding the bird.

Titel: Fast flying and very vocal Falcon....

Beskrivelse: 2 adults and 2 juveniles present, - here a young bird bird. Credits to DS for technical support.

Beskrivelse: Two individuals gleaning the folliage of the eucalyptus dominating the environment at the rest area

Beskrivelse: Not a numerous bird on southern shores in Australia, but yet seen every day here in Ceduna during a week's stay. Good birding at sea, at the shores and in the outback outside the small town.

Beskrivelse: It's possible to watch these birds from the shore. High winds made it a feast to be present. Not same individuals and my impression was wingspan up to 2,5 m... compare with the large tern (upper left)

Titel: Still blue eyes... indicates a sub adult bird.

Beskrivelse: Little Raven is very common here - like also the Little Penguin ( > 2000 seen alive). Phillip Island is really worth a visit if birding is on the agenda.

Titel: Sub-adult individual - still got blue eyes

Beskrivelse: ID among other things due to steep forehead, rounded head and general size

Beskrivelse: ...looking for food (ours!) in the tree's outside our accomodation. The white spot at the base of the bill is the discriminating ID for Grey Butcherbird among Butcherbirds. Bold and 'friendly' bird... some might land on your shoulder or hand to get a snack.

Titel: Adult's and next generation

Beskrivelse: A lot to look at from the two bird-hides at the lake side.

Titel: A salty, costal goose. Islands and costal mainland of south-eastern Australia

Beskrivelse: adult : grey with brownish tint and yellow part of the bill

Titel: Two adults with 5 juveniles.

Beskrivelse: The adults are in the middle and right - with yellow on the bill and some brownish tinting in the plummage. These geese prefer walking or flying instead of swimming... note the solid black of the distal part of the legs - not soil or mud - it is the natural colour.

Titel: Sleeping my day away....

Beskrivelse: The juvenile Frogmouth is able to leave the nest and fly around already when ½ size of a grown bird. Here the birds are roosting close to a public path - in the open and 2 m above the ground. Most birds have a colour more grey than tawny. Nice meeting !

Titel: Dad and todler in a garden next to the lowland rainforest

Beskrivelse: The male takes care of eggs and chicks for almost a year. The female can reach 65 kg almost 20 kg more than the taller Emu. In 5 days in the Mission Beach area we met 5 to 6 different individuals - 3 to 4 at this location. The two other birds were one in the forest and one crossing the highway just in front of our car.

Titel: One out of 3 this afternoon

Beskrivelse: Mission Beach is a relatively quiet holiday area, but north of it is Garners Beach - no body there (at least not this day). Very good conditions for this bird.
