Dim-witted fishing on Sawtell beach leads to entanglement of native bird

A small strip of coastal bush separates the beach from suburbia. Various wildlife still exists there. The Australian brush turkey (Alectura lathami) and wallabies try to survive in this small patch. Roaming dogs are allowed to chase the shorebirds and marsupials. At the main entry to the beach the native vegetation is eliminated to make way for more commerce and exotic weeds.

Preening one’s feathers – Bird portrait winner and BirdLife photographer of the year

‘I liked the low-key effect of the dark background against the black of the brush turkey’s feathers, where the bird is partially hidden as the turkey goes about grooming those feathers. I think the red makes a statement … It’s not often I have witnessed a brush turkey preening its tail feathers.’

Brush-turkey mound: I think she likes it!

Here’s a male Australian Brush-turkey showing a lady around his mound. The male is the one in front, with the bright yellow pouch dangling around his neck:

This particular Brush-turkey has been perfecting his mound for weeks. It’s good to see he’s getting some interest. Both birds are looking smart in their spring plumage.

This second picture is for scale, to show the size of the mound relative to some tree trunks and a fire gate:

The male builds and maintains the mound and invites a female to it. If she’s impressed, the female consents to mate with him and then lays her eggs in the mound. The eggs incubate and hatch without help, and the chicks emerge ready to take on the world.

Common name: Australian Brush-turkey
Scientific name: Alectura lathami
Approximate length: 60-70 cm
Date spotted: 23 September 2025 (spring)
Location: Manly Dam, New South Wales, Australia: 33°46’55.5″S 151°15’09.6″E

Muscovy ducks meet a Brush-turkey

Two Muscovy ducks hiss and wag their tails to warn off an Australian Brush-turkey. The Brush-turkey had been investigating my shoes, then it decided to see what the two interesting ducks were up to. The encounter ends peacefully. No feathers flying this time!

https://youtu.be/iffXt6UnwT8

Muscovy ducks come from the Americas, and are actually more like a cross between a goose and a duck than just a duck. They hiss like geese, although it’s a very quiet hiss. Their faces and heads look like geese, but their body shape is more like a duck’s.

I’ve seen this pair of Muscovies at Manly Dam often — they’ve made this area their home.

Common name: Australian Brush-turkey and Muscovy duck
Scientific name: Alectura lathami (Brush-turkey) and Cairina moschata (Muscovy)
Approximate length: 60-70 cm (Brush-turkey) and 76–84 cm (Muscovy)
Date spotted: 29 April 2025 (autumn)
Location: Manly Dam park, New South Wales, Australia: 33°46’44.9″S 151°14’58.4″E

So, there's a lot of reactions and analysis for the GTA 6 trailer right now. But I think I've found a truly unique and exclusive angle.
