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!

From a distance @Shaz51 . My mother was terrified of birds, she lived on a farm when she was little and got trapped in a car with a chicken somehow she was not big on birds. But if I see any interesting ones I will try and take a picture.

The kids found a peachface parrot in the sandpit soo weak , we kept her and she lived for 10 years

She would lay eggs and push them out of her cage onto the floor

We could make two teams, everyone in the top half of Australia are team crow. Bottom half team Raven. As "crows " the bird are from top half of Australia and"ravens" bottom half. I'm going to cheer for the "crows". Any "raven" support s out there?

Hi All 👋🏻

I’m a raven fan.

A few months ago I noticed a raven playing with a golf ball - once it saw me, though, it stopped playing and waited until I was ‘out of sight’ (hiding) then ran off with the ball and hid it under a pile of leaves, then wandered around and off as if to say “nothing to see here folks”… The following week I saw it up in the tree with it’s golf ball.
