kinsella.brendan: White-bellied Sea-Eagle, (Haliaeetus leucogaster). These magnificent birds are found around the coast and near major waterways over most of Australia.

kinsella.brendan: Pied Cormorant (Phalacrocorax varius) and Little Pied Cormorant (Microcarbo melanoleucos) together. The differences are quite obvious when they are seen along side each other.
kinsella.brendan: Spotless Crake (Porzana tabuensis) are very small crakes found in dense cover in and around lakes. You have to be patient and quiet to be able to get a siting of them.
kinsella.brendan: Ground Cuckoo-shrike (Coracina maxima) near Perenjori in Western Australia’s northern wheat belt region.
kinsella.brendan: Black-eared Cuckoo (Chalcites osculans) are found in dryer habitats in sparsely vegetated country. Not often seen and uncommon. This was a lifer as far as a photograph goes. Like all cuckoos it parasitises other birds into raising their young.
kinsella.brendan: Wedge-tailed Eagle (Aquila audax). For a young eagle flying in the few weeks after leaving the nest is quite an effort. The lose height before achieving enough lift to stay airborne.
kinsella.brendan: White-backed Swallow (Cheramoeca leucosterna). Swallows are very hard to capture on the wing. In Australia these are a less common variety, so pretty pleased to get this reasonable shot of one near Cervantes Western Australia.
kinsella.brendan: Short-beaked Echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus) waliking a gravel road not far from my house in Cervantes. They are reasonably common but not very often seen because they spend most of their time hunting termites and other small insects in thick bush.
kinsella.brendan: Carnaby’s Cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus latirostris). These birds are becoming increasingly more scarce around the Perth Metropolitan area. This female was with a flock that were feeding on pine cones on the ground.
