Hi gang
Well done again on a challenging challenge last week! Apologies again for the confusion. Lets see if I can make this week's a bit clearer. This is another one that we have done before but I think it went well last time.
Guidelines
- The aim is for one person to post a photo of a bird, the next person has to post a photo of something that it eats.
- e.g. Person 1 might post a photo of a Brown Honeyeater, person 2 posts a photo of a Bottlebrush in flower; Person 3 might post a photo of a Powerful Owl, person 4 could post a photo of a Rainbow Lorikeet (I have seen a pair of lorikeet feet in a Powerful Owl pellet!).
- The previous food item does not need to be related to the next bird photo posted.
- Everyone can post both birds and food in the challenge but if you post a photo of a bird you cannot post a photo of the food for that bird (ie the matching item). If you post the matching food item, you cannot post the next bird (ie. you have to wait a turn).
Everyone OK - I can clarify if needed

So, this is an insect the bee-eaters would eat. (hope I got it right?)

I don't think anyone would like to see a pic of Carrion, so here is something he will have to wait for it to become suitable for him.

Not a great shot but the only one I managed to take of a Star Finch. Sue
This is what Finches eat in my garden. I have all sorts of native grasses.

Anyone with some Brolga food for this fellow?
Mark
double post!

I don't have any tubers for this handsome boy, but I have heard Brolgas do like the occassional lizard or two as well, so he might like to snack on this little Mountain Dragon, or one of his cousins anyway.

If he's fast, he might like this Golden Blowfly, or the wiggly offspring of it.

I had to google, " what do Emus eat?"
"Emus eat a simple diet of fruits, seeds, growing shoots of plants and insects. They swallow small stones (called gastroliths or gizzard stones) which stay in the gizzard and help grind up food. They require a large amount of water, drinking 9-18 litres daily."

They also eat grubs. I'm sure he would love this one.

How about a mouse for my Boobook?
M-L
The mice seem to be hiding, so a big juicy moth for an appetiser instead. No idea what the moth is, have tried to ID it without any luck, so if anyone else knows, I would love to know too.....

Maybe your Spinebill could find some nectar in the flowers on Lizzy's hat
(that would make a great shot
)

Possibly, if it were a tanker sized tinny
. No wait, don't have a drybag for my gear, so....
That shot of Her Majesty, priceless! I would be laughing far too hard to get a shot off should a bird land there, hahaha.

What does a Lyrebird eat? This one lives on my friend's property just up the road from me.
M-L
Lyrebirds feed mainly on the ground and eat ground-dwelling insects, spiders, worms, occasionally seeds, small invertebrates, crustaceans, myriapods and snails that they find by scratching among the leaf litter. But I don't have any of them so here's a photo of a huge paralysis tick I pulled out of one of my dogs last summer. I hope it eats these.

Nice one Reflex
They say that we don't get them down here, but a few years ago one of our horses and a dog had one.

Anyone got a feed for this Grey Goshawk?

With that intense look, I think this Ringtail Possum might need to watch out!

Thanks, i was lucky to get him. He flew right past me and landed in front of me. As soon as i lifted my camera he turned and looked at me and i got one shot before he took off. Also lucky that my camera was set for a dark area ( 1/250, ISO3200 )
