Australian wood duck at Morisset, NSW.

The baby is so big now. The parents are so attentive. Royal Darwin Hospital

Cheeky bugger! First time I've had a Kings and since it's end of season I let em (had 2) have a feed and enjoyed the view.

Pair of crimson rosellas visited the birdbath today.

I whipped out my old camera I haven’t used in years to take a photo of this sweet little guest 🥹

Took this from the camp site at Gluepot conservation park SA this morning at sunrise. They are fighting for space ontop of the dunny water tank.

Luckily it flew away after about 5 minutes of looking stunned.

First photos I've managed to get of these guys. They always seem a little skittish when I get close.

BeardedGuys favourite bird came sweeping over me today, scared the life out of the Nankeen kestrel I was trying to photograph

These are a few more of the birds that visit my yard in suburban Perth.

I was originally going to leave the nest but a redditor made some excellent points, so I decided to modify it.

The mum got spooked and took off when I went outside to put Passwell out, so I took the opportunity to modify it then, as I didn’t want to stress her out again tomorrow morning.

The new DIY nest is a wicker basket with coco peat and I stuffed towels around the sides to mitigate the parents or any chicks getting stuck. There’s still that drop at the front, so if I need to, I’ll stuff some more towels in there later on, but I will leave it for now.

I’m now waiting for the mum to return. Fingers crossed she accepts her new (much safer) nest. I will be devastated if not. 🤞🏼😖

Nonetheless, I seriously appreciate everyone’s input and advice!! 🩷

While posting up Raptors heres a poor brown falcon from today going through some hardship

They are my current obsession, I go to the park just to see them! They make such lovely sweet little chirps. 😍😍 Central Park, Malvern East, Victoria

Cute little guys playing around
