An ‘Odd-couple’
Filmed this Pale-headed Rosella appearing to ‘chum-up’ to his friend the Laughing Kookaburra in Dayboro recently (13/09/2019)…..or could he be asking him politely to ‘Go-away’? Apologies for the ‘unsteady-footage’, no tripod …..

Experimenting with video-footage (Striated Pardalotes in SE Qld)

Special Sunday
Got up early this morning to try and record some audio soundscapes in the Samsonvale area, sadly the weather was somewhat ‘showery’ so most of the sound captured wasn’t very good-quality, however I did manage to capture some footage and audio of a family of Pacific Bazas and their interaction with other species present.

Eaglehawk Neck Pelagics 26/27 Jan 2019
Over the ‘Australia-Day’ weekend I attended a couple of Pelagic-trips from Eaglehawk Neck in Tasmania. We were quite fortunate to go as the state was experiencing heat-wave conditions and large bush-fires in the SW National Park, this produced a bad smoke-haze at the start of the first day which decreased as we moved further east.…
