Went for a walk at lunchtime, found this shiny boi.
He's a Shining Bronze Cuckoo. I've heard them frequently recently, but this is the first one I've managed to track down for a photo this year.

A Noisy Miner takes a flying bath in the lake at UQ.
It did this a couple of times, flying down to the lake surface, briefly splashing down and then flying back up to the nearby tree.

Before we found the Regent Honeyeaters, we had a lovely interaction with this Spotted Pardalote.
It happily foraged and listened to the camera shutter, just 3-4m away from us for almost a minute, before heading it its way.

A curious Torresian Crow I came across yesterday morning.
It was having a drink at the lake edge, and when it heard my camera shutter it started looking around.
