This is Maggie. Well, he’s a magpie and young and been hanging around our frontyard this past week. So I’ve been throwing him some bread and he’s been coming back for me. He’s even letting me get a bit closer. Here he’s in our Jacarandah tree watching me.

Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo
These birds are not commonly seen and appear to be very shy. They’re certainly not as plentiful as other birds we see, however I have gotten to know their screech from the odd few times I’ve seen/heard one before. So when I heard it screech in my backyard last week I was quick to race…
White faced heron skimming lake
While at the lake on that beautiful Saturday I saw this lone heron skimming the lake before coming in for a landing.
Australian King Parrot
Spied in my neighbour’s garden, this bird watched me as I watched him.
Big man grey kangaroo
Seems when we’re walking about the park we’re actually on view – to all the animals and birdlife there. We came across many kangaroos, mothers with joeys, and young kangaroos. We saw this big male grey eating but as we got closer he stood up tall to watch us. Quite imposing really.
