On my lunchtime walk, I found a Pale-headed Rosella, and two Tawny Frogmouths (one seems to be nesting).

A parrot with pale yellow head, richer yellow neck and back (with black spots), pale blue chest and belly and rich blue wings and tail and (just visible) a red rump. It is perched on a branch, facing right. A grey mottled bird, owl like but not an owl, perched in a casuarina tree. It is staring directly at the camera. It has a wide beak, and large yellow eyes. Another Tawny Frogmouth, this time perched on a fairly small nest of twigs in a dead tree. The bird appears to be asleep, which would be normal as they are nocturnal.

Fairly cropped distant shots but it was amusing to watch this Satin Bowerbird eye up some flowers, jump up and steal one and then fly off with it.

A dark blue bird slightly smaller than an Australian Magpie standing on the ground in front of a series of  plants that look a bit like lomandra. There are white flowers (about 4cm in diameter) poking out of them. The same Bowerbird now facing the opposite direction, with a flower in its beak. Now the bowerbird is flying away from the camera with the flower in its beak.

While going on a walk at Listerfield lake late last year, there were a few roos around. Most of them were lying about and the odd one was moseying about. They're not generally bothered by people walking by and will hop about a bit but keep a little bit of distance.

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

A photograph of a kangaroo. It is on the right third of the photo, and its body is facing towards the right, but its head is looking directly at the camera. It is surrounded by grassy land. There is a large light-grey fallen tree trunk in the background across the top of the photo, a thin branch in the foreground on the left, and in front of the body of the kangaroo is a thin out of focus twiggy branch. The ground is littered with leaf and bark material. The kangaroo is a tan brown and light grey colour. It has very large ears which are a darker grey on the inside. Its arms are hanging loosely down in front of it, and at the end of its arms are its paws which have decently sized claws. Its tail is almost as long as its body, and its feet look solid and form a definite L shape. It has large dark eyes and a dark nose.

A small sample of the "too many frogs to count" I found when leaving the office this afternoon.

The usual reeds were covered in tiny frogs. Well in excess of 30.

Two tiny frogs on a reed leaf. The leaf curves like a long bridge. On either side of the apex sits a frog, and they're on opposite sides of the central rib, like they're in opposing lanes. A tiny brown frog on a broad reed leaf. Two tiny green frogs on a reed leaf positioned such that they're following each other but with a frog's length between them. Three tiny frogs in shades of green on the same mostly vertical reed leaf. The bottom most frog, is partly clipped in the frame and partially obscured by a nearer leaf.

A small brown wallaby standing upright. It has reddish fur around the neck and face and on the forearms. The tips of its ears (which are sticking up) are black.

I was cleaning the water tank inlet filters and this little fellow jumped out.

It's a Slender Bleating Tree Frog. I've relocated him to a nearby shaded area where it can find somewhere more appropriate to live.

A tiny light brown frog clinging to a dry eucalyptus leaf that I'm holding. It has gold eyes, and is a bit covered in detritus from having jumped down on to the ground. Top down view (on the ground) of the Slender Bleating Tree Frog. Their colour makes them blend in pretty well with the dried leaves and other stuff on the ground. It took me a good minute to find again after losing sight of him.

A small Brown Honeyeater who seconds later was being quite vocal, but in this shot is just chillin'.

A small honeyeater on a thin branch. Despite the name, it has a more olive top than brown and the underside is more a light grey.

Finally! My very first Bandicoot in the wild. Such joy seeing these cuties. And I saw 5!

Bandicoots, whilst they look like rats, are NOT rodents but marsupials--meaning they carry their babies in their pouches!

A Bandicoot with rounded ears and whiskers standing on sandy ground, photographed low to the surface with a blurred background.

I counted 30 tiny Eastern Dwarf Tree Frogs on the reeds by my walk to the office this morning. Spring is definitely starting to announce itself.

Two tiny frogs on some reeds. The left on is green, while the right one is more of a dark olive green. Both are facing upwards and have their little legs tucked under them like tiny frog loaves. A single, green Eastern Dwarf Tree Frog on a reed leaf. The leaf curves down from mid-left to bottom right. The frog is facing right, and has tilted its head up a bit. A tiny green Eastern Dwarf Tree Frog on a broad reed leaf, in the afternoon sun. It's just sitting there soaking up the warmth. Two Eastern Dwarf Tree Frogs. One in the foreground, green, on a reed leaf that curves from bottom middle to right middle, and behind that, partially tucked behind a leaf, is a brown frog on a read leaf that curves from bottom middle to top left.

Yesterday was bookended by two egrets.

In the morning, a Plumed Egret, and in the afternoon, a Great Egret.

A Plumed Egret in the morning sun. Its namesake plumes can be seen hanging from its breast. It is standing in water covered in an aquatic foliage in shades of red and green. A Great Egret and its reflection as it wades through water. Behind it on a nearby bank is a spray of reeds.

Scarlet Honeyeater (aka Scarlet Myzomela).

We have a LOT of these, they're currently the most or 2nd most identified bird on my BirdNetPi audio ID unit.

Tiny wee birds that spend most of their time in the canopy (which for 40m tall gum trees means I rarely see them).

A small bird with a thin curved beak sitting in a small tree. It had a bright red (scarlet) head and shoulders, dark wings (not seen) and grey underside.

This Red-necked Wallaby was grazing on the side of the road when I left for work this morning (about 3 properties down the road from my place).

A mostly brown wallaby with reddish fur on the neck and shoulders and rump, standing upright, head turned towards the camera with a long green leaf of grass hanging from its mouth.

A Bush Stone-Curlew/Bush Thick-Knee (Burhinus grallarius), possibly nesting.

A Bush Stone-Curlew is sitting flat on the ground in the centre of the frame, facing right. The bird has brown and white streaked plumage on the upper body, a white and dark-streaked chest, and a distinctive large yellow eye with a dark pupil. A thin pale stripe runs above the eye. The ground around it is sparse dry grass and bare grey-brown earth, with dry brown leaf litter scattered throughout. The background is blurred, showing more of the same ground texture.
