It's a lie that ostriches can't fly, they just have to take a running start with their broomstick.

A photo of the head and neck of an ostrich looking straight to camera, beak slightly open so it look super cheerful, edited to wear a tall wide brimmed witches hat. There is a mottled brown blurred backdrop.

Today I met a rook who was DELIGHTED with something it could see higher up in the tree, but I know not what that was 🤷‍♀️

A photo of a rook sitting high up in an autumn tree lit by the sun. the tree only has a few leaves left, and some lichen on the branches, with blue sky visible through the gaps. The rook has its beak open, and is looking up to the top right.

My confident corvid identification might be mistaken btw. I am notoriously bad at remembering which is which, but I did try to check.

Side note about the rook. After it had spent some time gazing into the tree top and the sky beyond with a look of wonder in its eyes, it turned to me and my camera with disdain. I swear it was channeling the Teenager - this is the exact stare they give me when I take too many photos 😆

Also met this jackdaw in the same tree. Less delighted, more thoughtful. Contemplating the passing of the seasons, no doubt.

A photo of a jackdaw, squat and grey feathered, lit by bright sun light, in the midst of thin branches of a nearly leafless autumn tree on a thicker branch covered in lichen. It is gazing up to the top left, beak raised, eye bright.

And when leaving work today, I found another set of Bush Stone-Curlew chicks! These ones were over near the carpark I park in.

You can see how well their colouring matches the kinds of environments they prefer.

One of the chicks looking around its parent which dwarfs it in size and attitude.

Two white and brown chicks with long-ish necks sitting on the ground amongst the leaf and stick litter which is almost exactly the same colour as they are.

While out on my inaugural Bird Count (for this years Great Aussie Bird Count), I found TEN (10) fresh Pacific Black Duck ducklings and an attentive mother-duck.

So of course, I had to take photos.

Duck and ducklings swimming to the right. The water surface is reflecting the shore foliage in shades of green, and their little yellow faces stand out.

Looking down at the duck and ducklings as they duckling pass through a patch of sun.

A mother Pacific Black Duck swims to the right, and her brood of nine ducklings cling close to her tail. They are all reflected in the water surface.

A mother pacific black duck swims in the sun trailed by a tight group of quite young ducklings. The ducklings are mostly brown but with yellow faces. The mother duck is also mostly brown and in this shot you can see her green shiny wing panel.
