One of three Tawny Frogmouths I encountered on a short walk down the Darwin esplanade last night. They were rather chill, allowing me to get this photo with my phone.

A bit disconcerting when one of the world's largest moth species is attracted to your headlamp! Found this beautiful Hercules Moth in far north Queensland.

Do people still use this app?
Anyway, here's a pheasant coucal in the botanic gardens in Darwin. A truly stupendous bird.

It's incredible how much Powerful Owls can change how they look. This female went into what we informally call "raptor mode", making herself look hawk-like, when a Blue-faced Honeyeater started bothering her. We've seen Owlets do the same on their 1st day out of the hollow.

Unbelievable. I got a tip on a Boobook Owl family, so I spent 2 hrs at dusk walking along a creek. No luck. I go back to my car, parked at a big box chain store, and as I'm putting my binoculars in the boot I hear a juvenile Boobook trill*. My 1st book will be Car Park Birding.

A highlight of a recent fieldwork trip to AWC's Pungalina-Seven Emu Sanctuary was seeing my first Gouldian Finches.
We only got a brief look at a group of 6 on sanctuary (thrilling nonetheless) but then on the way back to Darwin we had ~130 of them visit our campsite in Limmen National Park.

A Long-footed Frog (Cyclorana longipes), one of many, many frogs we encountered at Bullo River Station last week after some of the first big rains if the season.

Caladenia macrostylis - the Leaping Spider Orchid
With its berry-like cluster of deep purple calli in the centre of the labellum, this orchid is easy to identify.
Endemic to southwest Western Australia and quite common in the Perth Hills.

There were three red-backed fairy wrens, non breeding colours or female.
Two were kind enough to stop briefly, sun and water confused my budget camera, but it is my first capture of them, great birds to watch flitting about.
My first Wrensday.
The borrow pits, Townsville

They’re only 2.5 cm long and weigh less than a gram, but bogong moths migrate more than 1,000 km to Australia’s alpine region each spring! But their numbers are declining. Help scientists track the bogong moths and learn how to protect them: https://www.zoo.org.au/moth-tracker/

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/a….
