Voting is open for Guardian's Bird of the Year 2025: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/ng-interactive/2025/oct/06/australian-bird-of-the-year-2025-vote-now

I didn’t realise this is how it worked: you can vote again every day, with tallies resetting at midnight. The 5 least-popular birds get dropped at the end of each day. The last day is 14 Oct, when you vote one last time among the final 10 birds, and the winner is announced on 15 Oct.

I had to vote for the Wedge-tailed eagle as the only eagle on the list, but there are lots of good ones to choose from.

Just posted some #weeknotes for week 35: https://bellebcooper.com/blog/week-35-2025

Also updated my page on live bird nest cams I'm watching, to add the Collins St Falcons and to note that the Crowned Eagle nest has just hatched 2 of its eggs... into goslings! Birds are wild. https://bellebcooper.com/nests/
