Sherbrooke Forest is such a marvel. It’s only a few kilometres from a #Melbourne metro train station (Belgrave) but feels like civilisation is forever away. It’s so peaceful and beautiful

Also took a walk in Birdsland reserve near Belgrave and with some help spotting them saw these Tawny Frogmouths. Love seeing these weirdos so much but struggle to spot them on my own

31 min video about recording birds and bats with ultrasonic microphones, with some bonus content about #birdwatching / #birding apps, automated bird recording software, and acoustic cameras that can show you where a sound is coming from.

Its sharp black claws and hooked beak are pointing at us. Its breast is mottled and there is no evidence of the red shoulders that will eventually make its species apparent. This photo was taken before I got my telephoto lens. Perhaps that was a good thing. It's too close to focus a telephoto on here. I have it on good authority that this is a juvenile red-shouldered hawk.

Usually when a bird stops outside my office window it's scarpered before I can take a snap but this one hung around long enough for me to grab my phone. So the question is: Mistle or Song Thrush? I think the former, but am useless at differentiating. #UKBirds#Birding
