Definitely birdfished 😂 these were photos someone else took, poor ravens

The adults, like the one I saw in October, find nests of other birds and displace those eggs and lay their own, and then let the other birds raise the young as their own, often neglecting their own natural babies to keep up with these huge strange #birds

You too!

Clarity ~ the colourful orange one is the little stint

Thank you!

Yeah I’m carless too, it’s such a pain!! Definitely people you can reach out to to get lifts in those groups though

Those groups will defs help with finding good spots!! I only took up bird watching this year and it’s been a big year in learning good spots, especially out of Melbourne

I generally go by myself / with my partner but there’s definitely a tight birding community to go out with! If you have fb definitely look into the Victorian Birders group and Birds and Birding Victoria 2024 groups!! The second is a competition group but good to lurk and find regular bird folk!!

I’m not sure how many more highlights I’ll get between now and new years 😅

Happy Birthday!! 💖💖
