Odd Miner, Melbourne

Walking the dog along Kooning Creek this morning, we came across a weird looking Miner. In a colony of Noisy Miners, it has a head just like a Noisy, including the half black cap, but when it flies, there are large white patches on its upper wings, as though it has white primaries.

Silvereyes

Over the past few weeks on the NSW south coast, Ulladulla, for the first time I can remember we have had small to large flocks of Silvereyes that are foraging everywhere, in bushes, on the grass, on the beach, under salt marsh samphire, along fences etc. There were the Tassy forms at first and now . . . → Read More: Silvereyes
