This immature male Satin Bowerbird is half way between the the greenish plumage of younger males and the blue-black plumage of adult males. He is practising one of the moves he will use as an adult to impress females.

New South Wales, Australia

Most of his plumage is blue-black, but he is flinging his wings up, revealing underparts which are still yellowish - characteristic of the younger male. He holds a blue bottle top in his beak. Satin Bowerbirds love blue things.

Photo of a paddock engulfed in fog. In the middle of the fog appears to be 4 kangaroos standing up all in a row, but if you zoom in the two on the right are actually Mummy roos and they both have bubs in their pouches that have their heads sticking out. I know they are a bit blurry, but I literally had a second to frame and take the shot, and autofocus locked on the foreground slightly in front of them. There’s also 2 magpies

For #BirdOfTheDay #blue #eastcoastkin a tiny superb blue wren photographed yesterday #phonePhotography
The male wrens have a bright blue cap and neck with black markings around eyes and front. Profile shot. Very tiny thin legs skittering across the grass. This one is more difficult to see as it stares straight at the camera. Looks like it is very cross but I think it is just the look.

I haven't taken any fairywren photos recently, so here's one I prepared earlier. A splendid fairywren at Gluepot.

The Sacred Kingfishers continue to flit through our garden every now and again. This one comes a little closer than the other.

This morning’s visitor — well, resident, near the main house — is a young red-bellied black snake (Pseudechis porphyriacus). Look at it trying to be tough with its flattened neck all threatening lol. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red-bel...
A narrow dirt path runs between two patches of unkempt grass. Across it, from left to right in the bright sun, trundles a very shiny little black snake, about 80cm long. Its neck is flattened in a mild threat display. Its stubby little tail can just be seen among the grassy bits on the left.

Oh captain, my captain, will you not sail me across the vast waters where my true love lies. It is such a long way, and I am so very tired. Be quick, for my heart slows, and I wish to join him in his eternal rest.

Against a sky of grey clouds and soft blue patches, a Sulphur-crested Cockatoo flares its pale yellow wings upward as it prepares to land on a TV antenna. A Pied Currawong sits stoically on a lower rung, looking away from the white bird’s dramatic, talons-out arrival.

#BirdOfTheDay theme chosen by @alan678.bsky.social is #BackyardBirds. The alt is #longnecks

Don't have a backyard anymore. However the Corellas visited my street this morning. They are a sight to behold as they swoop here & there. These 3 made a racket outside my bedroom. Just checking in perhaps.
3 white birds sitting upon a wire. These are Australian Little Corellas. They are mostly white, with a fleshy blue eye-ring and a pale rose-pink patch between the eye and bill. In flight, a bright sulphur-yellow wash can be seen on the underwing and under tail. The sexes are similar in plumage, and young birds look like the adults, but are slightly smaller. Behind this is an old church. The tree below them is filled with their friends who are slowing destroying said tree. Not a brilliant photo, and may not last long in my album of photos.

Male Satin Bowerbird molting into his mature plumage.
#birds
Photograph of a male Satin Bowerbird, side view from the shoulders up. The bird is a mix of new blue satin feathers and old dull olive green feathers with a few stray feathers barred in black and jade green. Its beak is white and its eye is violet. There are many short white pin feathers in its face. Same subject, different angle. The bird is front on to the viewer with its face turned to the side. It is looking at the viewer. Its breast is mostly blue satin, but there are a few remaining yellow and black barred feathers remaining.
