Australia Breeding Hunting Species 
10,000 Birds

In Australia we definitely have our fair share of invasive species and the main problem is that we are such a huge land mass with such a small population. The population of Australia is concentrated mainly around the city areas along the coast and many invasive species have been able to spread with ease.

This large flock is generally the non-breeding birds and on one occasion we have observed a nest there, but we do not know the outcome of it. In recent years there have been Pied Oystercatchers attempting to breed along the shores of Roebuck Bay. Many of the migratory shorebirds still have some of their breeding plumage.

I almost missed it, but New Zealand lost another endemic species recently. Now I’ve written before about how careless this country is with species, having lost around 60 endemics since the arrival of man to introduced species and hunting. Broadly speaking the case seems to be that it isn’t different enough.

This is a bird blog, and my beat is New Zealand, so let me talk about a fish I saw in Australia. On Nigaloo Reef in Western Australia, where I took these pictures, there were lots of them. Note the beaked mouth, used for hunting invetebrates. I can’t explain it, maybe some kind of breeding aggregation?

In the end, I truly did set out to reduce the number of birds that I feature here from 1302, my years total species, down to 10-12. Spending time in Darwin Australia, has made that our #1 spot to return to after the year was done. Just off the coast of Caines Australia lays the Great Barrier Reef.

The species ranges widely across the Pacific, as its scientific name suggests, from the Revillagigedo Islands off Mexico to the Japanese Bonin Islands to New South Wales in Australia. But it also occurs in the Indian Ocean, from Aldabra near Madagascar to Western Australia.

Colorful bills and heads seem quite popular among Letaba’s bird species – see the African Jacana (blue and black) … … the Striated Heron (yellow and blue) … … and the Yellow-billed Stork (yellow and red). The Latin species name vermiculatus (worm-like) refers to the markings on the upperparts.
