Bin Chicken got a bit too close to the water when flying across the lake this morning.

A few birds from my walk around the lake this arvo (returning from the other side of campus from a job)

We have a Hardhead (and its reflection); a Dusky Moorhen chick; an Australian White Ibis (aka Bin Chicken), washing itself; a Magpie Lark (aka Peewee)

A day for Bin-chickens, with several hanging around the lake at UQ. One in particular appears to be a male in breeding colours.

Also, many Little Corellas, and a lone Little Pied Cormorant sunning itself on a rock.

The new rejuvenated UQ Lakes and Wetlands is now open, and the birdlife seem to be enjoying it.

A Dusky Moorhen and an Australian White Ibis this afternoon, doing what they do.

A couple of birds I spotted when leaving work for the day.

The infamous Binchicken (aka Australian White Ibis) and a juvenile Torresian Crow, trying to work out which is its best side.

Morning trip to Jerrabomberra Wetlands this morning. Saw many fine birbs, many presenting very silly poses.
