Great round of photos Fang, I like the Peaceful Dove and of course The Black Falcon, excellent. The Heron I believe is a White-necked Heron, it has the spotting on the neck and more white than the White-faced variety which doesn't have the spots. Thanks for sharing these.

Thanks heaps for that info Shane :)
Some Black kite pics and a created pigeun that flew inside the house lol.
thanks for the pics
and yes, good flight pics of the White-necked Heron - an immature because of the width of the neck bands
and the Nankeen (or Rufous) Night Heron is also an immature - lucky to get it out of cover during the day, was it being chased by something?

Peter: No, the Night Heron was not being chased by anything, I saw it yesterday evning next to a river/edge of some bushland.
Another very good series Fang, the kite on the powerlines has he got a fish in his talons.
A fish's head to be exact
and thanks mate

Spotted bower bird/Chlamydera maculata, these are often considered 'pests' around here because they 'steal' crops and as a result are somtimes killed.
Good collection of birds. My favourite is the black kite, which is a bird I'd love to see.
Do people need a 007 licence to kill spotted bower birds in Qld?
Dont know about that but some would probably do it illegally, I've just heard thats what some people do and after seeing the damage bower birds can do to crops I'm not surprised why they are somtimes disliked by the farmers etc.
It's a shame that farmers & Spotted Bowerbirds can't co-exist. My Googling tells me that Spotted Bowerbirds actually cultivate Solanum ellipticum, a native plant, for its fruit which it uses in its bower as part of its sexual display. This is "the first example of cultivation of a non-food item by a species other than humans" so this bird species is quite unique. I wonder if there's some way of farmers using this characteristic of the bird plus its natural habitat to keep it away from their crops, perhaps by preserving &/or planting patches of bushland containing Solanum ellipticum. As a bonus the bushland would provide the crops with wind protection, reduce soil erosion & increase moisture retention.
Thats quite interesting Woko, thanks for sharing that :).

Nice collection of photos Fang and as Woko said pity the croppers didn't try planting hedges of these plants which would also create a place for insects and smaller birds as well.
