Chestnut Breasted Mannikin Trio
White Browed Scrubwren, Ocean
Photographed in the dunes at the beach. I loved the background which is really the ocean, not the sky as I was looking down. (see the next photo also)
White browed scrubwren
In relation to the previous photograph, I did not move at all. The bird flew closer to me with the dune vegetation changing the background colour, I was exactly in the same position and the ocean is just out of sight.
Straw necked Ibis
No guessing how this bird gots its name. The feathers are quite extraordinary. This Ibis is endemic to Australia, however the bird guides do say that it can migrate to Torres Strait, Indonesia and New Guinea in winter.
Red Wattlebird
Swan River in the background
Yellow Rumped Thornbill
This bird was taking endless amounts of bugs into its nest. This caterpillar was huge. Only a few days later the chicks had fledged and the nest was vacated.
Magpie and praying mantis
Rufous Whistler (male)
Female Rufous Whistler
Western Gerygone
A really tiny bird. Very common, but not often on lower branches where you can photograph them. Pronounced Jare-ridge-junny
