We stopped at Ravensbourne NP on the way home from the Bunya Mountains, and did a short 40min walk. Heard a lot of birds, saw few.

I photographed a juvenile Brush Turkey, & what the iNaturalist auto-ID says is a Russet-tailed Thrush. (It could also be a Bassian Thrush, & since I can't see the tail, who knows??)

VERY low light in this part of the forest. Handheld, 1/25th - 1/30th sec at 600mm ƒ/6.3 ISO 6400.

Australian Brush-Turkey (Alectura lathami) - Clayfield, Queensland, Australia - July 2024

This doofus spends hours every day scraping non existent leaf litter off of the top of the shed in our back yard.

And of course, on the path back up to Picnic Point, we were bailed up by a turkey.

It's clearly still baby bird season at UQ.

We have here a baby Brush Turkey, foraging in a garden, and a baby Dusky Moorhen amongst the reeds.
