Aussie Bird Count doesn’t start officially for 10 days, but you can begin. My count just now was particularly fruitful. #AussieBirdCount
This year’s Aussie Bird Count is 14–20 October. aussiebirdcount.org.au#AussieBirdCount I’ll be travelling in Queensland then, so even if I find the time I probably won’t even recognise most of the birds.

Last day of the #AussieBirdCount. Nearly 3.5 million birds counted so far. Still some time to put in your count!
Talking of the #AussieBirdCount, did one in bed last night! Window ajar, heard a call from our woodland patch 50m away. Confirmed the owner of call by playing a recording on my bird app but, before I knew it, the Tawny frogmouth himself was up on our roof above me. Maybe thinking he’d scored a mate?
Good job I got in an #AussieBirdCount before the fog came in - can’t even see the road, let alone the hillside that usually fills the frame
Surely one of the many great things about the #AussieBirdCount is introducing more people to the unique frustration of a flock of cockatoos flying past just after you pressed 'submit survey'? 🪶🧪🌏 Seriously though, over a million birds counted and we are only just half way through! 🤩
Appropriately for #wrensday#AussieBirdCount highlight were a pair of very noisy Splendid Fairy-wrens. 🌏🪶 Now, I have taken one nice photo of this species, but just to show my usual levels of bird photography, here's the best I could do today 😆
Day 3 of @BirdlifeOz #AussieBirdCount. We had a light rain this morning and I wish you could smell this view! Bull banksia is once again popular with the wattlebird, but a western spinebill was holding his own. 🪶🌏
