I returned to Melbourne from Flinders Island yesterday and missed the visit of this swift parrot. Don't know if it's the same bird we saw there in June but pretty nice to have around! #rarebirds #birds #Australianbirds #parrots #Tasmanianbirds

Clearly the magpie thinks she's booked the pool and is explaining this to the two green rosellas. Not sure how it was resolved. #ausbirds #australianbirds #Tasmanianbirds #parrots

Here's the kookaburra a bit after the last shot, deciding that the little birds buzzing him were too annoying. #kookaburra #australianbirds #tasmanianbirds

We don't usually get kookaburras at our watering spot on Flinders Island, but this one dropped by. The little wrens, firetails and small honeyeaters were not too pleased by the visitor and he soon took off. #kookaburra #australianbirds #kingfishers #tasmanianbirds

An underripe plum is no match for the massive beak of our local currawong at Killicrankie, Flinders Island, Tasmania. #birds #australian_birds #Tasmanian_birds

We were in Melbourne but one of our wildlife cameras caught a swift parrot sitting next to the water on Flinders Island, Tasmania. Wish I'd been there but this is pretty good too.

Find the parrot! A green rosella was enjoying the seed pods on our NZ flax plant on Flinders Island, Tasmania, last week. Nicely camoflaged, no?

No, we did not play "spin the possum" on the Hills Hoist, though it was tempting.

Doing my bit to provide some antipodean cuteness. Here's a blond (leucistic) echidna strolling past our place on Flinders Island in search of more delicious ants.
