A Shining Bronze Cuckoo - these #birds spend winters in the islands to the north of Australia and come here in summer. This is the first time I have seen them in the #bluemountains

A dragonfly (as yet unidentified)

The leaves that look redder than the ones around it are mistletoe, a parasite that grows on gum trees and is spread by (and is an important food source for) native birds especially honeyeaters #bluemountains

Currawong on waratah #bluemountains #birds
