When I had chickens at that house mice turned up not long after. Then the owls came, I think there was an Eastern Barn Owl first. Boobooks were all around that area anyway. But the one that stayed for years was a Powerful Owl, still there when I moved out and the chickens long gone. I've...

Season 2 Episode 1. I was pretty busy with work at that time and just moved into my old house in Sydney. Plenty to do there so never watched tv much. Now I've watched Season 1 & 2, was interesting. The follow up movie Fire Walk With Me, terrible. Tempted to put John on Ignore. Then Twin...

If that comes up to big click the Gfycat icon bottom right for a smaller one.

They're big birds, the White-bellied sea eagle here is around the same size. Never seen one in the wild because I don't get to the coast, but saw one in a private zoo once in a cage. Those zoo's are gone now thankfully, terrible thing to do to it. Video just for size, don't like these places...

There's a baby Sea Eagle cam here in Sydney Olympic Park. http://www.sea-eaglecam.org/video.html It's been blowing a gale here but he seems ok. They're big birds, a bit about them here. http://www.sea-eaglecam.org/index.html If that video link doesn't work click on the live video at the bottom...

I was cleaning up the chicken house one day and took two eggs outside and put them on a stump, a crow came down and took one. He flew up into the big gum next door and stashed it. I grabbed the other one and went back inside, he never saw me. He came back for it and couldn't believe it was...

I thought this was the bird watching thread, not the bird shooting thread. This guy took 150 shots at a Bald Eagle, not to kill it but to cut the branch it was tangled in. Not too easy with a .22...

I think everyone has seen this. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/apX0WlWNGBw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> This one didn't do quite as well. It's from a movie BROTHERS OF THE WIND. <iframe width="560" height="315"...

Yuck. That was an old trick here to keep crows away, they'd never go near where a dead one was hanging. Now they hang out around McDonalds & KFC and don't take much notice of people at all.

I remember that. Never seen a Cowbird but I saw Catbird race. Won quite a few dollars on that race and haven't had a bet since. The other Catbird. http://www.birdsinbackyards.net/species/Ailuroedus-crassirostris <iframe width="560" height="315"...

Lapmejse . You might have to sound that out for me. No, I guess that wouldn't work.#-o Rare albino sparrow photographed in Melbourne. http://www.skynews.com.au/culture/offbeat/2015/05/25/rare-albino-sparrow-photographed-in-vic.html?cid=BP_CAROUSEL_NEWS_RARE_SPARROW_250515 Don't see sparrows...

Great pictures Roger. That'd be too easy, I'm used to doing things myself. The Lirype was in Norwegian, so Lappmeis, eventually.8)

Took me a while to figure out what this little bird was, his head is in the way. Grey Headed Chickadee I think.

Be careful what you wish for. Hardly ever saw these here until the last drought. A lot of birds came here looking for water but these things are everywhere now, they had to cull some in the city parks. They love Canary Island Date Palms. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_white_ibis I...

Stig was talking about starlings somewhere a few weeks ago and I just saw this. We had flocks of them and sparrows when I was a kid, nothing like this though. Introduced of course but I haven't seen either for years now, the Asian Minor has taken a toll on a lot of birds around here. "These...

There's a Powerful Owl that hangs around here, been here for years but I've only seen him once. He calls at night a fair bit, comes and goes for weeks. Not my picture either. Sounds like this.http://www.birdsinbackyards.net/sites/www.birdsinbackyards.net/files/factsheets/audio/ninox-strenua.mp3

I'd like to see it. I could shop a magpie pic in for you maybe, there's a couple of baby ones hanging around. The parents live here most of the time, been here for years.

I planted that Pin Oak in March '91 to stop the morning sun, and a few other trees for the afternoon. It's nice on a hot day when I get home.:hotsun: There's a mulberry tree behind it that's why he comes, free food and shade.
