Anyone here for birdwatching? And maybe bird photography!

Anyone here for birdwatching? And maybe bird photography!

Hi, I know us birdwatchers can be pretty avid about what we do, so wondered if a thread for birdos could be a possibility. I’ve been birdwatching since I was 7 - my happiest memories from childhood are from Rotamah Island, when it was still owned by Birds Australia. I was a member, and one of my parents was allowed to accompany me to birdwatching weekends staying at the little house on the island. Happy days! 3 years ago I got a camera to take photos of birds. It’s my favourite thing to do. Here’s one I took near Bendigo of a New Holland Honeyeater, sorry the quality is severely downgraded by sharing here. What’s your favourite birdwatching place? Do you have a special place you go to watch birds? Please share!

Hi everyone,

I'm both a Bird-Watcher & a Bird-Keeper.

Here are some of my new additions to my Bird Family.....

Flame Robin! @Blackbird11 ! I went on an early morning walk the other day (haven't been able to for a long time, curse you plantar fascia!) and saw a flame robin, red browed finch and thornbill all sitting next to each other on the same railing! The small birds don't seem to fight even though they surely share food sources. Meanwhile the honeyeaters and such are always chasing each other and being very territorial.

Birds! I love em. Well I love all the critters out there land, sea or air but there is something really special about seeing our wonderful bird species.

(ps I tried to take a photo but my phone camera is atrocious ;-;)

Wow, that's so good @Acanthiza

You may not have a picture but you have the memory to cherish. I agree birds are so special!

Soooo… anyone discovered the world of Ravens and golf balls??

 Unfortunately I was unable to capture the Raven in action, playing with his ball, as he was too sneaky once he caught me watching.
He ran off and hid from me. I did however discover where he buried it after much digging around in the leaf litter 😂.

The golf ball remained there for a week. Later I saw the Raven up in the fig tree with it in its beak. Such a joy.

Is that photo one you took? Very good. Is it eating something out of a Lilly flower? Just guessing it's a Lilly flower.

That made me smile. Love the fact the crow had a golf ball. They are heavy. I thought at first until picture cleared it was an egg. Lol
