10,000 Birds

NOVEMBER 26, 2021

Popple] One of the great things about birding is its continuing ability to surprise. After many years pointing binoculars at birds they can still shock you with unseen – sometimes unrecorded – behaviour, baffle you with an unexpected vocalisation or just turn up in oddly unexpected places. Places, too, can surprise. I was wrong.

It has been more than 5 years since I last went to Australia, and I was even less of a qualified bird photographer then than I am now. So, the basic idea is to show 15 species of Australian birds in each post and give you the usual trivia about them. The female looks a bit duller but I was assured it has a beautiful soul.

I soon encountered many of the local birds that I have become very familiar with over recent weeks. There was a Koala doing…nothing! Koala doing…nothing! The Koala then had an itch, so there was a little bit of action! There was an adult feeding a juvenile bird quite close to the trail.

I have become very familiar with the birds along the trail. Some species I know I will see and other species I don’t observe on every walk. One of the most common birds that I have encountered is the Eastern Yellow Robin. They are a magnificent large bird, which is much bigger than the Gang-gang Cockatoo.
