Hi all
Not sure what to put here, or how long it should be.
Anyway, I have been a lurker on here for a while now so I thought it was time to, pop my head up so to speak, and introduce myself.
I found this forum initially, like many others, while trying to identify a bird.
I currently live in Glenore Grove, Qld which is in the Lockyer Valley west of Brisbane.
My bit of dirt is a 5 acre block.
The back half of the property has been left, as much as possible, native scrub so the flora and fauna can share it with us.
I just clear the leaf litter and larger branches around fire season to reduce the fuel available.
The front half of the property is mowed and kept like a suburban front yard, only slightly bigger. :)
Gardens are planted with mostly natives, to help attract birds to the property.
Over time I will post pics of the birds that visit me.
So that any that may be intersted can get an idea what is in this area.
I am not a Birdwatcher as such, but I do enjoy photographing nature.
So if it crawls, walks, hops, flies or swims on my block of dirt I will be trying to get a pic of it.
That's it for now.
I also have a fair bit of photo experience, so I will try and help in that area where I can.
Edit: Grammar
Good on you, bungy. I'm looking forward to seeing some of the birds that visit you. And I trust that you're either flood-prepared or high & dry or both there in the Lockyer Valley!
We are high and dry where we are. Located on top of a small hill.

Wise move.
Sounds like you live on a fantastic nature friendly property Steve. Great to hear you're a little safer (and drier) where you're situated too. Look forward to your posts, and a very warm welcome!

Thank you all for the welcome.
