By Birding-Aus, on January 1st, 2021% Great to meet up with a few other birders on Cairns Esplanade this afternoon to get good views of the Nordmann’s Greenshank discovered and photographed by Adrian Walsh earlier today. His photos are on eBird and show the bird beside a Common Greenshank as well as with lifted wings. What a stunning bird to kick . . . → Read More: From Birding-Aus
By paul, on January 1st, 2021% Yesterday marked the tenth anniversary of the end of Ruth’s and my Victorian Big Year – or VicTwitch.
In 2010 we saw 392 species in Victoria – a record that still stands today. Completing any sort of a Big Year requires a huge amount of commitment and planning – and, most importantly, it requires help . . . → Read More: Tenth anniversary of our Victorian Big Year!
By Birding-Aus, on December 31st, 2020% I am fairly sure I know the answer to this question but I will ask anyway. Does anyone want or know some else who wants a multiple decade collection of Birdlife/Wingspan and New Zealand Birds.

By Birding-Aus, on December 23rd, 2020% Hi Chris, your are excused, raptors can be difficult to separate. This one is a Hobby. I believe it is a juvenile judging by the underbody, which is missing the adult’s ‘arrowheads’. The head pattern is striking, no other Australian bird of prey has it. Nevertheless the Hobby may be confused with a Peregrine, but . . . → Read More: whatever your hobby, this is a Hobby
By seashore, on December 23rd, 2020% My mystery bird for Christmas is this raptor I photographed above the Stuart Highway on my way to Newhaven back in 2011. I have made a wild bet (usually wrong) but I would appreciate your views and reasons so I can label it correctly… just in case it is something else… https://www.ararelitus.com/birds-1 Regards Chris Shawseashore@internode.on.net+61 . . . → Read More: Christmas Raptor Wrap
By seashore, on December 20th, 2020% I jotted down a few notes about the birds I saw at Birdlife Australia’s Gluepot Reserve while doing a little bit of volunteering over a week during early December.
