Australian Birds

[caskur]

I've never seen anything like them.

I might start another thread about WA wildflowers.



At the moment we're doing plenty of road trips. I'm going on one within the next hour.



It's wildflower season and we're known globally for our diversity however it's drastically shrinking.



I saw on the news people in Alaska are fighting a road going through an Alaskan forest. I do hope they win the fight. I am bloody well sick and tired of arseholes wrecking what is left of old growth areas. Australian land vandals being right up there with the worst of the worst.

Male kestrel (the one above is brown...and therefore female. Males are grey/white)

The kestrels tend to feed on insects rather than animals.

They must be a little smaller than hawks and especially eagles..



Kestrels look a little like peregine falcons.

[Bricktop]

They are slightly smaller than hawks, and miniscule compared to eagles.



They're about the size of an average crow.

They're shaped different too.

"Early European settlers encountered the eastern rosella at Rose Hill, New South Wales, now Parramatta, and so they called it the Rosehill parakeet which became "Rosehiller", and eventually "rosella".[3] "
