Last Notes npub16gwhgm63q0tnww4kgwzxje8cl39twqg9f0hn2z79v34nfmm6tuss036n9q David de Groot ๐ธ There's a controlled burn down the road today (and this evening) so I popped down the road to take an evening shot of it. #fire #sky #night #stars #MilkyWay https://cdn.masto.host/photog/media_attachments/files/112/897/366/203/425/165/original/767c134356175aba.jpg npub16gwhgm63q0tnww4kgwzxje8cl39twqg9f0hn2z79v34nfmm6tuss036n9q David de Groot ๐ธ Not a particularly great shot, but the 3 or 4 pairs of Crimson Rosellas I saw on a short walk down the road at lunchtime were not at all interested in getting their photos taken. This pair, hiding inside a bushy tree, didn't realise they could be seen through a gap in the foliage. #bird #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #CrimsonRosella https://cdn.masto.host/photog/media_attachments/files/112/682/686/875/606/366/original/72a6615f1f5d382f.jpg npub16gwhgm63q0tnww4kgwzxje8cl39twqg9f0hn2z79v34nfmm6tuss036n9q David de Groot ๐ธ Probably a female (as in might be a juvenile male, but given the time of year, probably the former) Satin Bowerbird. There were two foraging in this tree by my dirveway this morning. #bird #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #SatinBowerbird https://cdn.masto.host/photog/media_attachments/files/112/669/023/859/349/782/original/66ae144b84687d13.jpg npub16gwhgm63q0tnww4kgwzxje8cl39twqg9f0hn2z79v34nfmm6tuss036n9q David de Groot ๐ธ A different pair of Bush Stone-curlews, eye me warily as I take their photo on Friday arvo. #bird #UQ #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #BushStoneCurlew https://cdn.masto.host/photog/media_attachments/files/112/662/479/184/474/824/original/29b411611ca892c0.jpg npub16gwhgm63q0tnww4kgwzxje8cl39twqg9f0hn2z79v34nfmm6tuss036n9q David de Groot ๐ธ A curious Torresian Crow I came across yesterday morning. It was having a drink at the lake edge, and when it heard my camera shutter it started looking around. #bird #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #TorresianCrow https://cdn.masto.host/photog/media_attachments/files/112/639/734/983/623/183/original/9e20d0caf37bece8.jpg npub16gwhgm63q0tnww4kgwzxje8cl39twqg9f0hn2z79v34nfmm6tuss036n9q David de Groot ๐ธ "The morning after the argument."

A magical few minutes spent with the endangered Swift Parrots feeding on the side of the road at Adventure Bay, Bruny Island, Tasmania. #bird #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #SwiftParrot #birds https://cdn.masto.host/photog/media_attachments/files/112/563/851/405/536/646/original/87313493cc0c7af7.jpg npub16gwhgm63q0tnww4kgwzxje8cl39twqg9f0hn2z79v34nfmm6tuss036n9q David de Groot ๐ธ Haven't shot much recently, so here's a throwback to our Tasmania trip, with a previously unreleased image of a Tasmanian Silvereye (Zosterops lateralis ssp. lateralis). #bird #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #Silvereye #TasmanianSilvereye https://cdn.masto.host/photog/media_attachments/files/112/552/180/693/151/298/original/edbef220295325c1.jpg npub16gwhgm63q0tnww4kgwzxje8cl39twqg9f0hn2z79v34nfmm6tuss036n9q David de Groot ๐ธ Australasian Swamphen feeding time this afternoon by the lake, and a slightly damp Masked Lapwing this morning. #bird #UQ #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #AustralasianSwamphen #MaskedLapwing https://cdn.masto.host/photog/media_attachments/files/112/450/251/440/158/227/original/70da3a9f8f3aa503.jpg https://cdn.masto.host/photog/media_attachments/files/112/450/252/245/451/420/original/0cdcd2da6ae3fb95.jpg npub16gwhgm63q0tnww4kgwzxje8cl39twqg9f0hn2z79v34nfmm6tuss036n9q David de Groot ๐ธ Cool, shiny moth I just found in the kitchen (and managed to safely release outside). #insect #macro #moth https://cdn.masto.host/photog/media_attachments/files/112/427/554/500/151/005/original/d8567341b28a9341.jpg npub16gwhgm63q0tnww4kgwzxje8cl39twqg9f0hn2z79v34nfmm6tuss036n9q David de Groot ๐ธ The lone Australasian Grebe that has taken up residence on the main lake at UQ. It is quite wary of people (unlike most other birds on campus), and had swum out in to the lake from the shore as I approached this afternoon. Mostly backlit from the afternoon sun, and surrounded by zooming dragonflies. #bird #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #AustralasianGrebe #UQ https://cdn.masto.host/photog/media_attachments/files/112/252/485/715/023/269/original/8638e3c6748ede37.jpg npub16gwhgm63q0tnww4kgwzxje8cl39twqg9f0hn2z79v34nfmm6tuss036n9q David de Groot ๐ธ Cleaning the water tank inlet filters this morning and this Emerald-spotted Tree frog (nee Perinโs tree frog) hopped out. #frog #EmeraldSpottedTreeFrog #AustralianWildlife #WildOz https://cdn.masto.host/photog/media_attachments/files/112/221/440/587/903/710/original/a27ccc8805c5e286.jpg https://cdn.masto.host/photog/media_attachments/files/112/221/445/697/695/927/original/83a2154628e142fa.jpg npub16gwhgm63q0tnww4kgwzxje8cl39twqg9f0hn2z79v34nfmm6tuss036n9q David de Groot ๐ธ A lone Hardhead (dark brown duck with white eyes) was swimming around on the lake yesterday. This morning though, there was a Bush Stone-curlew hiding under a bush, and some Dusky Moorhen chicks learning to forage from their parents. #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #bird #Hardhead #BushStoneCurlew #DuskyMoorhen https://cdn.masto.host/photog/media_attachments/files/112/138/746/467/951/645/original/d690ff782855a5d7.jpg https://cdn.masto.host/photog/media_attachments/files/112/138/747/265/901/862/original/a19372491e7c743f.jpg https://cdn.masto.host/photog/media_attachments/files/112/138/747/952/331/614/original/d356f6ad2c2be07f.jpg npub16gwhgm63q0tnww4kgwzxje8cl39twqg9f0hn2z79v34nfmm6tuss036n9q David de Groot ๐ธ The wet wallaby is in the backyard today, hiding behind a fern, with the odd look around it to see what I'm doing. #Marsupial #Macropod #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #SwampWallaby https://cdn.masto.host/photog/media_attachments/files/112/074/745/503/122/379/original/7e808b2284c7717e.jpg https://cdn.masto.host/photog/media_attachments/files/112/074/745/589/196/920/original/528747738106dc31.jpg npub16gwhgm63q0tnww4kgwzxje8cl39twqg9f0hn2z79v34nfmm6tuss036n9q David de Groot ๐ธ Our little wallaby was in the front yard again when I was leaving for work. #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #SwampWallaby #Marsupial #Macropod https://cdn.masto.host/photog/media_attachments/files/112/058/749/012/528/050/original/81499347c169af45.jpg npub16gwhgm63q0tnww4kgwzxje8cl39twqg9f0hn2z79v34nfmm6tuss036n9q David de Groot ๐ธ More campus birds.
