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!

Love bower birds @Shaz51!! Mum and I used to go to Lamington Nat. Park in QLD just for the birds. They have bower birds and crimson rosellas and king parrots and cat birds and lyrebirds and also the rarer regent bowerbird! They're so pretty! They look like soft black velvet with bright yellow patches, so striking!

@Jynx @Shaz51 having trouble attaching link to ABC/news/science/wellbeing/birdwatching 01/06/2024 really interesting story on ABC about birdwatching and it's benifits and how it's making a comeback. "Mindful birding" how cool is the group's name. It's all on ABC.

I had a few different songs from birds this morning. The loudest and interesting song has to go to the pied butcher bird. So I looked them up, they pair andwhen they have babies only 2 sometimes 3. They call on helpers. So I'm lisentending to their song differently now. It goes more like this..(just to make this clear. This is a funny).." Hay mother in-law, need some help over here. Your grandchildren are running in two different directions and I need to feed them.@tyme @shaz51 @Jynx

Hey @Shaz51 and @Just ,

I was at a cafe this morning, and it looks like the birds have taught themselves to eat from the sugar packets on the tables:
