  1. First day out of the nest box 🐣
    After 24 days, the chicks stepped out to see the world for the very first time.
    Feeling the fresh air and experiencing their surroundings

  2. Bishop Lucey’s Pigeon

    If there’s one thing that was a constant in the old Bishop Lucey Park in Cork it was the pigeons. They swarmed over the old city wall where humans were denied because of a fence around it. Sometimes the wall was thick with them, waiting for a child to come along and scream and laugh at them as they flew into the air in panic.

  7. Yeah don't mind this lens. Not quite the reach I'm used to, but good enough!

    Doing a little testing on the Lumix 100-500mm F5-7.1. Full frame telephoto zoom that's about the size and weight of a 70-200mm. Review on the way in a few weeks.

    If nothing else I got a nice walk in :)

  12. Just got home in time for this bundle of feathers to stop by for a quick chat.

    She was getting an earful from Rolfie when I left this morning. And the correllas just headed off after trying to dig out a hole in the rear side of the pebble-mix tower at 303 Collins St.

  17. Earlier today we had a show down between Rolfie (one of our regular sulphur crested cockies) and a pair of Long-billed Corellas. But the corellas came back soon after!

    Each year they arrive in spring and investigate various parts of the nearby buildings for possible nesting spots. Such is the challenge for city birds. Most will end up tearing into a palm tree or getting booted out by a Rainbow Lorikeet. It's a tough gig for a parrot in Melbourne.

  22. It’s a bird city

    Cork City, where birds have become incredibly adept at turning human carelessness into dining opportunities.

    Urban-adapted birds like the seagulls and crows photographed here have developed significantly different behaviours compared to their rural counterparts. City-dwelling seagulls often show reduced fear responses to humans and have learned to time their foraging around peak human activity periods, such as lunch hours when dropped food is most available.

    Crows, meanwhile, have demonstrated remarkable problem-solving abilities in urban environments and can even learn to associate specific locations with regular food sources. Studies have shown that urban bird populations often have different dietary compositions, stress hormone levels, and even song patterns compared to rural birds, reflecting their adaptation to city life and the constant presence of human activity.

  27. Just look at the detail in those feathers. Had to be quick, he's a bit shy of the camera and keeps trying to eat my phone.
