Last weekend I visited Wilsons Promontory National Park for a weekend of walking and general decompression. It was good.
As I was having a cup of tea I was visited by Crimson Rosellas and Magpies. Of course I had to take some pictures. Just up the path a Masked Lapwing was being as stressed as they normally are.
These are their pictures.
The Little Corella (Cacatua sanguinea) is a small parrot that often occurs in large flocks in Melbourne during the winter. They come down to feed on grassy areas like sports ovals and 'nature strips' (that's the grass by the side of the road!) If they find street trees with seed pd still intact they will feed on these and make a heck of a mess on the road: a mixture of shredded seed pods, leaves and small twigs will litter the ground under the trees.
They are also very playful, messing around with sticks, bits of litter (sadly) and each other.
These are some pictures from the last couple of years.

Covid has returned to my household, just in time to ruin a (very) much needed holiday and to banish my wife into isolation in the front room! This virus is the gift that keeps giving.
I managed to get out for a walk today - although not with a camera - and the Australasian Swamphens (Porphyrio melanotus) were fighting and chasing about near a small wetland.
These are sone pictures I have taken of that species, in that swamp, but not today!
