Bob Trlin > Diamond Python (Morelia spilota spilota) Waiting to ambush a meal and not fussed at my presence
Bob Trlin > Glossy Black Cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus funereus) - female I love Glossies. Often in the bush I'll pass a stand of Casuarinas and hear a click-click-click. I look up and there will be a single Glossy or a pair calmly nibbling on Casuarina nuts. They have no problems tearing the woody nuts apart to get at the many tiny seeds inside. They love those seeds so much that they will let you get within a few meters of them before they get agitated. These 2 photos I shot with a 200mm lens and only a little cropping. When in flight they display spectacular red markings on their tail.

Bob Trlin > White-throated Treecreeper (Allengreerus delicata) I don't know how they do it but they can hop up trees upside-down. Actually they should be called tree hoppers not creepers.
Bob Trlin > Eastern Yellow Robin (Eopsaltria australis chrysorrhoa)
Bob Trlin > Common Brushtail Possum (Trichosurus vulpecula) playing peek-a-boo A Brush Tailed Possum outside my bedroom window at night. They are mostly nocturnal and often make a racket at night with their territorial bloodcurdling hiss like growl.
Bob Trlin > Goanna and Cockatoo "Oi! Get out'a mi tree!", screeched Polly Cockatoo to Mrs. Goanna.
Bob Trlin > Granny's Cloak Moth (Speiredonia spectans) The colours in the wings are due to light refraction rather than pigment. This is enhanced by the use of flash. The moth is actually a dull brown colour all over thus its common name Granny's Cloak Moth. The moth likes to inhabit dark places, particularly caves, during the day. Viewed from the back it gives the appearance of a large reptile with prominent eyes and nostrils.
Bob Trlin > Brush Turkey (Alectura lathami) - female The bulding in the back is the chooks' pen. This turkey hen might be going to adopt our chooks. She has been hanging around for a while. Unfortunately, they like building large mounds of compost into which they lay their eggs. The eggs are incubated by the the heat generated by the compost. Incidental, Brush-turkeys are not even closely related to the American turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) which many of us had for Christmas dinner.
