Tasmanian Native-Hen (Gallinula mortierii)Nest building
Tasmanian Native-Hen (Gallinula mortierii)Juveniles
Swift Parrot (Lathamus discolor) I don't often see Swift parrots here. They are more common in the east of the state. These were part of a flock 0f 20 or so feeding noisily in the Blue Gums at Wynyard.
Swift Parrot (Lathamus discolor) ...another one. Not great shots but a nice record of a not so common bird.
Sooty Oystercatcher (Harmatopus fuliginosus) At sunset
New Holland Honeyeater (Phylidonyris novaehollandiae) A bad photo but a funny one :-)
