#WildOz

Emus near Tibooburra a few years ago. #BirdOfTheDay #birds #WildOz

Also, gotta say that I used my 3 free months of Apple music but still prefer my radio stations, on my walks and in the car: @3rrrfm.bsky.social and 3 PBS.

In a tiny little conservation area near me. #Epping3076 #WildOz #grasslands

These young emus took off in typical chaotic running style when I stopped the car, but then when I got out to take a photo their curiosity got the better of them & they cautiously crept back to have a look at the strange human sitting on the ground!

Thursday birdsday!
Splendid fairywrens are found through much of arid and semi-arid Australia, in mulga and mallee woodland. Males will pluck pink and purple flower petals to give to females as a courting gift.

Sometimes it's difficult to tell male and female Powerful Owl's apart. We hadn't yet seen the female but something about the chunky fierceness of this POwl suggested male. Powerful by name, and nature and the only bird in Australia that can fly carrying prey heavier than itself. #birds #wildoz

Put some headphones on and enjoy this ethereal predawn soundscape.

The fluty phrases of the Pied Butcherbird are sublime, like music floating across the arid plains.

This is an excerpt from the album "Australia: Outback Dawn" wildambience.com/albums/austr...

A new Powerful Owl chick, and family! It surprises me how urban these owls can be, we first heard this one at dusk accompanied by a doof doof soundtrack. It looks younger than others we know, it's yet to grow in any of its bat-like chevrons. #birds #wildoz #brisbane

Two little stunners from Sturt National Park, NSW - Orange Chat & Crimson Chat. #wildoz #birds

Yawning Powerful Owl chick. Chicks switch from hard stare tracking to fast asleep in an instant, while the adults tend to snooze for most of the day. #birds #wildoz #brisbane

The floof is beginning to be replaced by chevons (heart/bat pattern) on the front of this Powerful Owlet.
