Sharon's second time around

[Galana]

That certainly is a great collection. Some nice birds. Did you actually find time to visit your Dad in between?

[xelas]

Too many great birds to single one out, yet the Superb Fairy Wren is indeed superb!

[Kitsafari]

what a great haul from Victoria! very close to a century now....

[PeterHG]

Many beautiful and exciting additions, yes, the Fairy Wren stands out, but the New Holland Honey-eater is a striking bird, too!

[Peter Connan]

Really excellent progress! With such stunning locals I do w9nder why anyone imported pests like the Mynahs and Starlings.

Yes I agree, although I think at least some of them were stowaways and not intentional imports

Beautiful beautiful beautiful! Great new additions, I always enjoy seeing Australia´s great birds. The Fairywren is a standout indeed, and I love all the colourful Lorikeet et al. But also the Dotterel a lot, that´s a very nice colour variation for a Plover.

[TonyQ]

Wonderful additions, from Victoria and NT

I am really enjoying your thread!

[Dave Williams]

Fabulous collection. I suppose familiarity breeds complacency but when I saw your Magpie I thought why can't ours look as magnificent as that. Then I had second thoughts and decided ours have their own merits too.There are however so many species you have that we can't get close to although not all are strikingly stunning. I do wonder if I will ever get to see them for myself. One day perhaps.

@Soukous @xelas @Galana @Kitsafari @PeterHG @Peter Connan @michael-ibk @TonyQ and @Dave Williamsthank you for your kind words.

 

@Dave WilliamsI have always thought your magpies were quite beautiful, as you say the exotic often has more appeal than the familiar. I do hope you make it to Australia one day, we are extremely blessed with  unique birds and other wildlife .
