A couple of terrible photos of great Tassie endemics, but they'll do until I can improve on them.

Wow, Tom, Tasmania has been kind to you. Lovely set of birds.I love those long yellow wattles and the Green Rosella is a beautiful bird. but the Tasmanian Native-hen is very cooperative. A few days yet plus a bit of over-run to get them loaded.

Great to see Tom. Good luck with finding some more endemics. If your lucky, you might see them all on Bruny Island. If your not there before the New Year, you will be off to a great start for next year.

There is usually a "grace period", I think it was around 2 weeks last year, to enable people to get photos up, so don't panic if you can't upload before midnight tomorrow.

Given a full year, I think you will amass a very good number. Thanks again for joining the fun.

And a couple of late pics to round out the year. Can I just say how wonderful it has been for me to find this forum and all of you, I've really appreciated the feedback and photos from all of you. Bring on 2021!

Some great birds Tommy - its lovely to see the Tassie birds. I had a very happy Christmas and New Year there last year, its so cool seeing their different and endemic species, and it is such a lovely place. I particularly loved Bruny- maybe a good place to retire to one day :-)

Love the Yellow-throated Honeyeater, Tom. Still time to upload any more from last year but what an impressive total for such a late start. Looking forward to your efforts in 2021.
