  1. Foxes were introduced to Australia in the 1800’s for sport and have done untold damage to native wildlife. Thankfully, New Zealand was spared such stupidity. Seeing a fox in our backyard was not a welcome sight…

  2. 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:

  7. 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.

  14. 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.

  17. 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!

  22. 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…

  27. 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…

  40. 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).
