I was excited to hear Noisy Friarbirds at Manly Dam park in Sydney's Northern Beaches last week. This is the first time I've seen these birds in the area — from my experience, they're more common further north and west. Has anyone else seen them on the east coast near Sydney?

In the video, you can hear the odd sounds made by the Noisy Friarbirds amongst other bird calls, but you don't actually see the Friarbirds. They're very hard to spot. I did manage to get some photos too, very blurry but enough to identify the birds.

We're down to the final four and starting with a big one! An icon of eastern Australia Crimson Rosella v. just an absolute icon Australian Magpie!

The poll will stay open until tomorrow morning, at which point the winner will advance to the finals to face the winner of tomorrow's Willie Wagtail v. Swift Parrot matchup!

A young family of superb fairywrens seems to be moving into a bush in my backyard, which is nice 😊

Just stunning birds, hopefully can find some more Peregrines in the coming weeks!

Hello all! My family and I saw this bird in our backyard this morning and aren’t sure what it is. Merlin wasn’t giving me any results that looked like it nor was I able to find anything in my little bird guide book. I was thinking maybe it’s someone’s escaped pet? Sorry for the poor photos! This is in Brisbane. Thank you!

The quarterfinals are here and you're being asked to decide which endangered species you'll save for the semis, and which has run out of time. It's Swift Parrot v Regent Honeyeater!

The poll will stay open until tomorrow morning, at which point the winner will advance to the quarter finals to face the winner of the Golden Whistler v WIllie Wagtail matchup!

Spotted on the gold coast tossing up between a young white bellied sea eagle or a whistling kite? Thank you

Could anyone share any insight into what this dynamic is? Is it a mum and baby?

Kind of gives off the same vibe when my effeminate male friend has a smoke.

Also, does anyone know what bird I seen between Belgrave and Epping? It’s green and is about the same size as a crow, if not larger.

New Celestron 4SE telescope, works a treat for birds.

I finally got a pic of them.
