It is hard for me to resist a pair of birds. Here are some that I’ve come across in my wanderings.

I was in Cowra, in central west New South Wales, and there was a park near the Japanese Garden & Cultural Centre. I could hear lots of strident bird calls, and soon spotted this young magpie and its rather harassed parent. The young magpie was very vocal in its demands for food.

At the entrance of the Blue Mountains Botanic Garden at Mt Tomah, I could hear a pair of ravens long before I could spot them. They were nestled high up in the trees.

One of the many highlights of wandering along the riverside in Launceston was coming across a pair of Tasmanian native-hens. As indicated by their name, they are only found in Tasmania.

Black swans can be found across most parts of Australia and these swans were spotted on Myall Lakes on the mid-north coast of New South Wales.

Another common water bird is the Pacific black duck, and this pair were spotted on Lake Pillans in Lithgow.
One of my favourite birds is the galah, and there is a pair of galahs in the top photo.
