White-faced Heron having a bad hair day?
The White-faced Heron is a very common bird in Australia. From time to time, I would observed that their feathers are made to stand up as depicted by the photograph. I am guessing it is part of their grooming process. This photograph was taken on 1 June 2024 at Royal Park Trin Warren Tam-Boore.

Mistletoebird of Royal Park
Until recently, this female Mistletoebird has shown up at Royal Park Trin Warren Tam-Boore every time I visited. This photograph was taken on 1 June 2024. I am not sure if she has moved on to better feeding grounds or she is still lurking around. Hopeful, she would come back soon.

Black Swans at Royal Park
A pair of Black Swans appeared at Royal Park (Oak Street Wetland) on 31 May 2024 for two days. They then disappeared and appeared again in the next few days. It is not clear if they will stay. They appear to be used to people. I suspect that they must have came from a park where they have been given food.

Little Eagle soaring over Royal Park
I was very fortunate to have witnessed two Little Eagles (light morphs) soaring over the Skink Habitant at Royal Park Trin Warren Tam-Boore on 31 May 2024. One of them came very close and banked right, thereby, catching the sunlight and provided me with an opportunity to capture the photograph above.

Superb Fairywren
This photograph of a male Superb Fairywren was taken on 18 Dec 2024 at Royal Park Trin Warren Tam-Boore. I like this shot because it features the bird in the foreground but more importantly, the habitat is portrayed in layers. Some will argue that the blade of grass in the foreground is distracting but I think it adds to the authenticity of image as it depicts the bird in its natural surroundings.
