Youโ€™re being watched! Those eyes follow you everywhere! Tawny Frogmouths usually sleep during the day, so if you wake one youโ€™ll get the stare.

If youโ€™re not Australian youโ€™d be wondering what this weird display was. We Victorians know itโ€™s a male Lyrebird, trying to attract a mate. Sadly, photos donโ€™t carry sound - his repertoire of other birdsโ€™ calls was impressive - and included a chainsaw!

Eclectus Parrots are native to tropical Queensland - which is about to be hit with yet another tropical storm/cyclone. This male Eclectus is shouting a warning - or is it โ€œrain, rain, go away - come again another dayโ€?

Cockatiels are not often seen in the wild anymore, but they are native to Australia. This one landed on a dead branch at the old gold diggings at One Tree Hill in Victoria - and checked me out!

Olinda Creek enters Lillydale Lake through this old timber bridge. The construction fencing is because the Shire Of Yarra Ranges, which superseded the old Shire Of Lillydale, is excavating a big extension of the lake. It was built to stop the creek flooding Maroondah Highway. With the climate becoming more stormy, and floods bigger and more frequent, the Shire isnโ€™t taking any chances!
