Captured this one at a friend's backyard this afternoon.

Looks like this is a female, and she is trying to wake up : her bright yellow eyes are still droopy. There are loud noises from heavy machineries due to renovation work, but does not seem to be annoyed.

Tawny frogmouths are not owls, and are colloquially (incorrectly) referred to as Mopoke, Morepork. They are closely related to Nigtjars and Oilbirds. Unlike owls, they are not raptorial.

Every afternoon at 3:30pm there is a show of feeding the pelicans at The Entrance, NSW. About 50 strong pelicans gather at the feeding point every afternoon. Thanks to the volunteers and patrons who make this event successful and ongoing. The Entrance is about 100 km north east of Sydney.

In the evening light, lorikeets are feeding on blossoms of gum trees. Without any notice, they suddenly take off, rush right over my head.

Spring has been here for 2 months, yet there are quite a few areas of the park with dead trees. Red Wattlebirds like to perch on those dead branches and blend in very well. You don't know they are there unless they call their mates, or decide to go to other places, like this bird here.

This is a "re-mix" from an image taken in 2009, very heavily cropped.

It makes a swift dash into the water but comes up with no fish...

Small insects are busily feeding at a patch of Seaside Daisies. The little one leaping off in the top right corner is probably a small wasp.

This beautiful small fower is called Gaura Lindheimeri. It is a perennial, commonly called Butterfly Bush, it can grow to 1m, with a width of 0.8m.
