An appropriate article to encourage lovers of birdsong to join in the @birdlifeoz.bsky.social #AussieBirdCount next month. Many of the 'small brown birds' are a lot easier to pick by their call than by sight.

I reckon the locals take the same approach to October's @birdlifeoz.bsky.social #AussieBirdCount - singing joyfully the week before, then strangely absent when I'm out counting. Best wishes for the British version.

Apparently NSW restrictions won’t be eased next week... and it’s also the start of the #AussieBirdCount next week...

In the #AussieBirdCount by @birdlifeoz.bsky.social each August, the rainbow #lorikeet was the most often counted species nationwide. They've spread with our homes & gardens (& were introduced from the east coast into Western Australia).
They're watching our plums ripen right now...

Importantly, this simplified bird community is typically made up of the same, repeated set of species including the Australian magpie, rainbow lorikeet, noisy miner and little raven – birds that often make the top 10 in BirdLife Australia's #AussieBirdCount. 2/5

Nankeen Night-Heron showed up on our dam last week, which was very nice of since I got to record it in my #AussieBirdCount surveys. Doesn’t like having its photo taken, but I finally got it! #ausbirds

I was sad because it was so wet I was going to miss doing the #AussieBirdCount. Then there was a break in the rain, so I did it from my Dad's large hospital window as he slept,

Sound UP! I survey Yellow-throated Scrubwrens in Royal National Park. Whilst in Boris and Natasha's territory yesterday I found a lyrebird foraging. Boris enters from left at 26 secs and begins his mimicry which will grow in volume and complexity. Enjoy this sonic celebration of planet Earth! 🧵 1/

Last day of the #AussieBirdCount
In 4x20min sessions I spotted 245 #birds of 23 different species in 2 locations.
2 highlights were the 6 #ganggangs flying over the second i began the first day, and hearing 4 #koels this morning. Koel calls are the sound of summer.

The coolest thing just happened!!
I was in the back yard when a black bird with the glossiest feathers, a blue-green-ivory bill and bright red eye landed on the bird bath not 3m away!
#EasternKoel or #Stormbird! Absolutely made my day.

Yesterday I got to work early for a campus @birdlifeoz.bsky.social #AussieBirdCount in one of my favourite spots.
Turns out it was Red Wattlebird and New Holland Honeyeater central, with some kind of inter and intra-species conflict playing out for banksia access rights!
