Rainbow lorikeets

We were walking in Bold Park this afternoon, a beautiful autumn day, when I tried to get these colourful birds, hiding in the tall dead trees, on the photo. My zoom doesn't go far enough though... unfortunately...

Raven

Update on my raven, he is coming back every day for a morsel or just a chat on the veranda. His damaged wing is healing, there is an odd white feather sprouting on the quil that sticks out but he seems to recover and is able to fly a bit more every day.

Resin

Last weekend we were staying at Brookside winery and walked through their amazing gardens when I saw this piece of beautyful resin on one of the trees along the creek. It was quite big, like a little hand ful.

Longneck Turtle shell

The shell of a Longneck Turtle which I picked up a few years ago and left it in the garden. The sun dried the shell so much it cracked this year and revealed a stunning pattern.

Kangaroos

They have odd shapes, these kangaroos, look at the movement of the big one, leaning on his tail. The small front legs compared to the huge hind legs.
