Black-Fronted Dotterel came within a few metres of me, repeatedly dropping one wing down and fanning out its tail with its back to me. Possibly, it had a mate with a nest in the area and was trying to lure me away with distraction behaviour

I finally found the local area "really early alarm clock" high atop a Silky Oak just after sunrise. He calls all through the wee hours from around 2 am. Pacific Koel (Eudynamys orientalis) aka Eastern Koel.

Australian Brush Turkeys dust bathe for plumage maintenance. The dust cleans excess oils and debris from their feathers and also helps control or eliminate parasites like feather mites and lice. Lake Cootharaba, Qld
