Birds, Birds, Birds

A few photos from the last week or so.

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 :-)
