Australian Boobook (Ninox boobook) known as Billy, Toohey Forest. I love the fine feathery ‘hair‘ on its feet.

I was distracted from my pondering that I hadn’t seen possum around here in a while by getting confused about someone taking photos in the dark.

What it turned out they were photographing:

Our Wollemi Pine (one of the world’s oldest and rarest trees, with under 100 left in the wild) is attracting a lot of attention in the garden. It’s the first time I’ve seen the Silvereyes feeding in there in great numbers, & the female cones are being decimated by #birds. #WildOz #nature #birding
Another taken through the kitchen window - our #Tasmanian Black Currawongs appear to be sorting out who has first rights to the #bird bath (with the winner giving the loser an impressive death stare).

A bit of a dodgy capture through the loungeroom window, on a wet and misty day. A Yellow-throated Honeyeater, endemic to #Tasmania contemplating a spider web in the branches of a eucalyptus, whose trunk has similar hues to the bird. #WildOz #Birds #Nature #Wildlife
Through a bedroom window for this one, a New Holland Honeyeater in the much maligned Red Hot Pokers. Yes, an environmental weed in #Tasmania . This year I’ve planted additional natives for the #honeyeaters and, once established & flowering, the Poker will go. #WildOz #Nature #Birding #Wildlife
