From the archives: Tawny Frogmouth (Podargus strigoides) chick that I christened Curious George. It was the offspring of a pair that nested yearly in the Great Court at the University of Queensland. Sadly 1 of the parents passed & I think the other has moved on.

One of the joys of last Saturday's Benita Willis Shield was seeing Isobelle Louison-Roe ( @izzyleaps ) clear 1.88m for an U20 World Champs qualifier. First time I'd seen/heard a coordinated mass crowd clap at a UQ meet.

#BirdOfTheDay theme today is a bird you have the #least captures of. Here's a pair of Eastern Koels (Eudynamys orientalis) that I saw just the once. Male is the shiny one.

I could hardly give the alt of #longbeak for #BirdOfTheDay a miss with the famous Orstralian Bin Chicken, aka Australian White Ibis (Threskiornis moluccus). At Mt Coot-tha Botanical Gardens, #Toowong showing the nictating membrane, aka 3rd eyelid.

#BirdOfTheDay is #Pigeons, but I have very few images of them. So going back to 2003 when tiny image size was the norm (original NEF is lost), here's when the giant Band-tail Pigeons (Patagioenas fasciata) thought they could fit on my little feeder in #Aptos #California.
