I was very lucky today to find these young Wedge-Tailed Eagles!

Hi John, lovely images, many thanks. As a WTE rehabber and researcher I am super keen to know how many you saw and where they were. The youngsters gather in groups and we are keen to know if any of our released and sat tracked birds head to these groups known to be in Vic. You can call me on 0484 195 888 if you prefer.

Some shots from Mallacoota, Victoria
A lovely winter session in Mallacoota where Robins were the stars of the show. I was very happy to see a Flame Robin this time too - like a bright orange beacon in the distance on a cold winters day! Didn't have much success getting them off the fence posts and wire as usual 😄 And I did have to lie on the damp cold ground for the Flame Robin ... but he was totally worth it although a distance away. - Flame Robin - Scarlet Robin - Australian Pipit - Jacky Winter

Have you ever seen a yawning Kookaburra?
Well now you have 😉 Super cute Kookie hanging out on my neighbours fence watching me tidy the garden. He patiently waited for me to go inside and get the camera, and then gave me a yawn and a big feather ruffle, what a great model! Unedited shots except for cropping.

Nice ones Sonia. They can be little feisty critters in care when they are almost ready for release. They don't hold back with that stabby beak and it is very hard to dislodge one! Very territorial and must be released where found or they will quickly and horribly be dispatched by the locals. Youngsters up to a few months have a bill that is dark top and bottom! FYI - when a bird ruffles its feathers it is called rousing!!

From the Rehabber
Just wanted to say that I love looking at all your amazing images and learning from you. Thanks so much to all here who share on the wonderful Sonia's lounge. Not the greatest pic but here are a couple of little Southern Boobook owls I raised and released.

Birds in Care
Visited my amazing friend @Peggy McDonald to take a few photos of her birds currently in care (she's a registered wildlife carer with a wealth of knowledge). Peggy gently performed a check on feather regrowth of wings and tail, injuries and keel bone condition. Just incredible to get up close to these beautiful birds, hopefully they'll all be ready for release soon 🙏

@Gareth Parkes I suggest check out our amazing Gang gang cockatoos Gareth. They are the birds that introduced me to the world of birds decades ago :)
