This is a kookaburra just launching off our plum tree. I hadn’t realised what kind of pattern might be under their wings and on their body.

3 magpies
I heard these birds squawking overhead and was fortunate to capture 3 of the 4 in one frame. It was a beautiful day on the day this was taken.
Yellow Tailed Black Cockatoo
I don’t know how common these birds are as I’ve only ever seen them at Lysterfield Lake Park. Usually in pairs or more they can be seen and heard gnawing on the trees and making noises to each other. You can usually hear them before seeing them. They are quite a large bird.
Male Eastern Grey Kangaroo
These guys are huge and very muscly and in this pic you can get an idea of just how strong his muscles are. He was content to watch us (my walking partner and me) and he struck an impressive pose for me.
The Corella and the Cockatoo
Saw these two recently at a park caring for one another. Thought it really cute. In case you don’t know, the Cockatoo has the sulphur crest, the Corella has the blue eyes and pink mask. They are two different breeds.
