A Rainbow lorikeet perched at a spray of pink eucalyptus flowers. Its green back and tail is almost the same colour as the foliage, but its rich blue head and red chest make it more visible.

Juvenile male Australian King Parrots are pretty funny with their blotchy colouring.

This one was hoping for some seed.

New album just dropped.

(as an aside, do you know it's been 30 years this year since Silverchair released their debut album, Frogstomp)

#AustralianWildlife #WildOz #EasternDwarfTreeFrog #frog

Three tiny green frogs on a curved reed leaf. At the leaf peak, the three frogs sit as if posing for an album cover with the lead frog being just over the peak and angled to the right. “Drummer frog” in the back only has its head visible and is out of focus.

I was stuck at work this afternoon for longer than expected and so I used that time for a spot of birding.

I found some Masked Lapwing chicks, a family of Bush-Stone Curlews and a ridiculous Little Corella.

Three Bush Stone Curlews sittings and standing in a patch of late afternoon sun at the base of a pine tree.

One of two Masked Lapwing chicks on grass. They are fluffy white bodied birds with brown mottled wings and cap and slightly long legs.

A Little Corella ( a small cockatoo ) on a dead branch of a Jacaranda tree, wings spread out and up, beak open mid-call. Behind it there are living jacaranda branches with green leaves and purple flowers.

A male Australasian Darter sunning himself on the walk bridge across the northern part of the lake at work yesterday morning.
He was not at all worried about the passing foot traffic.

Portrait of the Darter showing mostly neck, shoulders and head. He is a dark brown colour with a yellow pointy beak, white stripe from the beak under the eye. He has a rufous patch on the front of his neck where it curves, and the part of the wing that is visible has some light brown feathers.

Full shot of the Darter perched on a stainless steel railing. It is mostly dark brown, but with a patch of rufous on the neck, white stripe behind the yellow beak, and patterned wings (lighter and darker feathers on the fore edge, dark trailing “flight” feathers. The tail is light brown tending to grey with a lighter ladder patten up the middle.
