  Tawny Frogmouth update. Papa Frogmouth is still sitting on the nest, currently damp. Still no sign of chicks. (surely they should be hatching soon!) #bird #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #TawnyFrogmouth

  The pair of ducklings were in a patch of fallen jacaranda flowers at lunchtime when I came across them. #bird #duck #AustralianWildlife #AustralianWoodDuck

  We have floofs! Looks to be two Tawny Frogmouth chicks under Papa Frogmouth today. Mumma Frogmouth was perched nearby. #Bird #TawnyFrogmouth #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #Floof

  The floofs were awake and soaking up the morning sun today. One of them also had a massive yawn (gif incoming) #AustralianWildlife #TawnyFrogmouth #Bird #WildOz #Chick #Floof

  Tawny Frogmouth update. Both parents now stay close to the nest. I could only see one floof (chick) so I don't know if they have lost the other one, or it was under the bird on the nest. #TawnyFrogmouth #Bird #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #chick #floof

  Sky Puppy ! I finished up around 5pm today, and the fruit bats were starting to leave their roost to go and forage for food. This one flew almost directly at me, and I managed two reasonable shots. #BlackFlyingFox #FruitBat #Bat #AustralianWildlife #WildOz

  Since it has been quite wet[1] here today, I thought I'd check in on the nesting Tawny Frogmouth. Poor chap is somewhat damp, but still doing his duty on the nest. [1] 150mm of rain since midnight, as at time of posting. #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #TawnyFrogmouth #Bird #Nest

  The Rainbow Bee-eaters and Striated Pardalotes are back hanging around the embankment near the ferry terminal at work. They'll start making burrows for nesting soon. #spring #Bird #RainbowBeeEater #StriatedPardalote #WildOz #AustralianWildlife

  A completely chill Galah I spotted at the last second as I walked right past it. It didn't really care that I was walking by at all. #Galah #WildOz #AustralianWildlife #bird

  The silky oaks and callistemons are flowering in my area at the moment, and the Little Wattlebirds are quite happy about this. #bird #LittleWattlebird #WildOz #AustralianWildlife

  A small sample of the "too many frogs to count" I found when leaving the office this afternoon. The usual reeds were covered in tiny frogs. Well in excess of 30. #TinyFrog #EasternDwarfTreeFrog #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #frog

  A damp, and slightly dirty Kookaburra on my clothesline the other day. #bird #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #LaughingKookaburra

  I counted 30 tiny Eastern Dwarf Tree Frogs on the reeds by my walk to the office this morning. Spring is definitely starting to announce itself. #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #Frog #EasternDwarfTreeFrog

  Still five ducklings at work. Generally it's a bad idea to count the ducklings since they tend to not all make it, but so far so good with this brood. #WildOz #AustralianWildlife #AustralianWoodDuck #Duckling #Bird

  Found a Kookaburra nesting in a termite nest today. It's dug a nice hollow for itself. #bird #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #LaughingKookaburra
