Another bird more often heard than seen… The Whipbird does its best to sound like the crack of a whip. Luckily someone recorded vision AND sound here:

Possums are regular visitors to our garden at night. A familiar scene for anyone in or near the Australian bush. They are funny, cuddly native Australian creatures.
HOWEVER, some felt it would be useful to take a few to New Zealand back in the 1850s to use them for their fur. It has become invasive and a major agricultural and conservation pest. By the 1980s the peak population there had reached an estimated 60–70 million.

Here is a bird which deserves its name, the King Parrot. A pretty regular visitor around the neighbourhood, but not often seen at the water bowl.

The birdbath doesn’t just attract birds… We do occasionally get Wallabies in the neighbourhood and it was nice to capture one on the BirdCam! Linda @linlovesart, should do a month of Australian marsupials!

Our European settlers have much to answer for, calling a bird by a name which reminds them of “home”. Thankfully we have Currawongs even though some people still confuse them with Magpies, which in turn are not the same as the European Magpie. Phew… We love the Currawong name…

A regular guest, the Grey Butcherbird, often heard in the neighbourhood with its beautiful warbling song. They are often at the “bowl” and don’t fuss, but I prefer this phone camera shot from our lounge room…

Not all Australian birds try to impress with bright colours. The Brown Cuckoo-Dove lives up to its name…

We’ve gone from initial “Surprise!” to “Not that bloody Turkey again!” over the past few months. From terrorising the chicken over the road to stealing their food. Oh, to be a protected bird… [Brush Turkey]

I’m not qualified to draw any conclusions regarding male and female Bowerbird behaviour…
(yes, the black bird is a male Satin Bowerbird and the speckled greenish brown birds are female). -

For the last few years, a pair of Rainbow Lorikeets have been nesting in the tree behind the house. This year, I gave in and borrowed Craig’s camera…

A rare bird to be seen at the “Bowl”, but one which is famous for being heard is the Superb Lyrebird. Ours used to be expert at mimicking a ringing desk phone ( when we still had them). Search for “lyrebird calls” on YouTube and you’ll get many examples of them mimicking other birds and power tools(!).

You rarely see just one Noisy Miner and groups often dominate the birdbath. They are pretty cheeky and never sit still, jealous of other birds wanting a sip or a dip.

The tree behind our house. It’s not particularly beautiful, but we love it and so do the local birds.
A couple of years ago, we “inherited” a bird bath and found a place for it near the tree.
We added a “BirdCam” to keep an eye on the birds frequenting it. It automatically captures visitors, day and night.
The rest of this month’s images are mostly from this BirdCam…bb.coomans.com
