Branch or bird? 👀

This master of disguise is none other than the freshly crowned #BirdOfTheYear.

As Tawny so expertly reminds us, there’s a whole world of birds out there, sometimes hiding in plain sight.

There’s no better time to look: the #AussieBirdCount has started: aussiebirdcount.org.au

For any #birdoftheyear folk out there I can thoroughly recommend this book. Curlews on Vulture Street, by Prof Darryl Jones. Great stories about the birds who live where we do, and the science that has helped to understand them. @gingerandhoney.bsky.social

Votng has closed and we wait with baited breath for #BirdOfTheYear - I’ll be happy so long as it’s something rare or threatened - not kookaburras or little penguins which are common www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Final votes friends. Let's go Team Southern Emu-wren and highlight the plight of one of its subspecies which is under threat from a ridiculous planned rocket range on the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia. #birds #birding #birdoftheyear #southernemuwren

It’s the final day of voting in @australia.theguardian.com #BirdOfTheYear. #LittlePenguin has made the final ten; the only flightless, & only aquatic, bird left in the poll. It won’t win, but your vote can help it soar higher than ever before. #TeamLittlePenguin

Tawny Frogger update. Little known fact - Tawny camouflage is so effective it interferes with phone camera focus. This is the watch frogger, the other frogger is on the nest with two baby fluff muppets just visible beneath him/her #WildOz #Birds #TawnyFrogmouth #BirdOfTheYear #Birdlife

Good Monday morning

It's a great day to vote for the #BirdOfTheYear. There are still some lesser known, endangered birds in the running.
