Happy Monday everyone,
Hope you have all had a great week. Lets focus this time round on feathers - a bird with unique feathers or a close up of some feathers - whatever you like...

Brown Goshawk taking in the sun
Wanda, that is awesome! You're lucky it's a young one, as the adults may not have let you this close.
Where was I when you saw this? :
Damn!
How is your green tree snake going BTW? See the Square-tailed Kites at all last year?
Cheers
Akos
Hi Akos
Sorry the Square-tailed Kites did not come back I was so disappointed.
Have not seen the Green Trees for awhile but had a small Red Bellied black snake living in side garden up until a fortnight ago.
Good to hear from you.
Beautiful shot of the goshawk Wanda. With such a strong left wing view I thought for moment that it might be be a Bobhawke....
(groan....)
Having trouble uploading the picture. But here's a female red tailed cockatoo that dropped by recenty.
Australian Ibis tail
King Parrot (wasn't aware of any blue feathers until I took this shot).

Different shades in this Tasmanian Native Hen (endemic) aka Turbo chook. One of only 3 flightless birds in Australia. Great eating apparently, place in pot with a rock, boil until the rock is soft, throw away the bird and eat the rock!

That sunning Goshawk is stunning! I agree, I can never get that close to them.
Can't go past a "feathers" theme without a Lyrebird. Not a great photo, but sure is a great bird.

Ok, so these are not very fabulous feathers by any means but they are very worn out. If this cocky could talk....

He is not old Rob. He is affected by this.

Thanks Shorty.... I did have a read. This photo is 2 year old taken in my back yard and I have not seen him since.

Little Wattlebird flying out of the bath. Just shows the different patterns in the feathers.
Aggressive feather from the fearless Willie Wagtail hanging off the Kookaburra.
Interesting feathers around the neck on this New Holland Honeyeater.

Yes Reflex!
I thought I was going crazy when I took a similar photo (below), but they do have interesting feathers around the neck.

Goshy warming the feathers
Very nice feathers, and fashionable neck scarf.

One of my favourites is the Emerald Dove.
Big shake to rid some of the dust before it took off!
