Wild Bird Wednesday 500 - By Popular Choice.

I find it hard to belive that 500 weeks ago I started Wild Bird Wednesday, and that I have not missed a single week! 

On the 18th July 2012 I posted some images of Rainbow Bee Eaters as the first Wild Bird Wednesday Link Up (World Bird Wednesday ceased the week before!) and here we are, a very long way from 2012!

The birds in this week's post have been requsted by (often long standing) followers of WBW!  I hope you like them.

Southern Cassowary.



Australian Magpie. (You can hear these birds here (sorry about the ads!))




Sulphur Crested Cockatoo




Rainbow Lorikeets 




Red Backed, Superb and Splendid Fairy Wrens




and last but not least (this one is for me!) the Australasian Gannet.  


So, to join in with the 500th WBW, click on the link below!  Hope all is well, and we can stay together for a few more WBWs yet!! SM

  3. Hello Stewart, :=) All delightful birds. I was also going to request the Fairy Wren, but someone beat me to it. It's bright blue colour and daintiness appeal to me.

  5. Congrats on your milestone post! Nice selections. The cockatoos and Lorikeets were standouts for beauty, though the Fairy Wren gives them competition. The big ones are certainly impressive.

  8. The gannet is a bird we see diving offshore here. We’ve seen two dead ones along the shoreline in spring too. Quite the wingspan. The other birds are such beauties too!
