Brown Falcon taking off

My brother, dad and I were up at Connells Lagoon Conservation Reserve. We had seen the falcon from a little bit down the road, and dad had taken some photos. He said to start filming and the falcon might take off as we started moving. He was right.

Australian Magpie gives a lesson to its young on feeding and nest building - video by Moses Waring

These two Australian Magpies were near our caravan site at Victor Harbor late last year (2013). It looked like the older magpie was trying to show the younger magpie how to forage in the dirt for food, and then picks up a stick. I think it was trying to show the younger one how to collect sticks for its nest. What do you think?

Hope you enjoy the video.

Musk Lorikeet feeding on a flowering tree video by Moses Waring

I really love the parrots and lorikeets, they have lovely colours and they can be so funny and they can be noisy too. This Musk Lorikeet was feeding on some flowers in our campground at Victor Harbour in South Australia. I got up early and was looking for birds when this one flew into the tree next to me.

Hope you enjoy the video.

Pacific Black Duck and its Ducklings video by Moses Waring

On our way to Melbourne during the summer holidays, we stopped at Bordertown, South Australia. There were quite a few birds there including this Pacific Black Duck and its ducklings. They were so cute. Hope you enjoy the video.

Sand Goanna and the cicada

We were at some friends place to play some tennis.While I was there, I saw this Sand Goanna wander through the bushes and then come under the pool fence with a cicada. I then watched it walk across the back verandah until it finally found a nice place behind a pot plant. Hope you enjoy the movie.

Doongalla Homestead Reserve - videos of Crimson Rosella in tree hollow, Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos and Eastern Yellow Robin

Today our family went with our cousins and aunties and uncles, grandma and grandad and great aunties and uncle and my 100 year old great grandmother (Greatie) to a place in the hills on the outskirts of Melbourne in a suburb called The Basin. We went to a place to have lunch, and there were picnic tables, but it was very hilly. I found some lovely birds there. I love the colours of Crimson Rosellas and I found these ones going in and out of a tree hollow near the ground near one of the car parks:

I also saw these Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos while walking along the road with my Uncle Pete and Dad

And this little Eastern Yellow Robin was in a tree by one of the tracks when my Dad and I went for a walk
