Additional comments? - Sighted yesterday. Flew to the ground whilst another one landed in a tree nearby. It flew off a few seconds after I took the photos of it. I don't think it realised I was there when it landed on the grass so it was probably a bit scared when it looked up and saw I was so close.

Additional comments? - Sighted on Andrews Walk, Adelaide, SA. The first time I saw an ibis (today) it was walking around, but later on I saw one being followed and harrassed by a noisy miner. Noisy miners are such bullies towards larger birds, such as cockatoos and herons.

Additional comments? - Sighted on Andrews Walk, Adelaide, SA. They flew off multiple times as other people who were walking scared them, but I eventually found them again. They sat in a tree and then flew off to eat.

Additional comments? - Sighted on the River Torrens. Its bright green eyes are unlike anything I've ever seen before. Dad said the bird was a cormorant, but I am not sure which exact sub-species (?)

Additional comments? - Quite a small bird. These are the only photos I captured before it flew off, which is why they are not very good quailty (in terms of sharpness/clarity.)

Additional comments? - Sorry about the bad photo quality, these birds are very small and quite fast. They did not stick around for very long, and flew off almost as soon as they saw/heard me approaching. There was a lot of gumnuts, twigs and bark underneath my feet so it was hard to keep quiet.

Field Notes - My brother, his friend heard this weird noise (I'm not sure how to describe it) and saw an adult koala trying to climb up a tree that another koala was already in. The koala above the intruder started to climb down the tree and continued to make the weird noise until the intruder lumbered off to another tree. My brother, his friend and I walked a little closer to the tree and when looking through the branches, I saw a young koala. I was so excited, it was the cutest thing in the world. I'm assuming that the (female?) koala was protecting its baby and tree from the other koala, who was probably a male.

When walking down the hill, I spotted another adult koala resting.

Once again, the location may not be 100% accurate.

Field Notes - My brother and his friend said that they had seen multiple other kangaroos, but during the time they went looking for me, they'd all bounded off but one. The kangaroo that I photographed was lying on its side then stood up. It bounded off into a shadier area since it was quite warm today. I was a but disappointed about only seeing one kangaroo, but at the same time I'm grateful that I got to see one. Also, the location is a bit of an estimate.

Field Notes - My cat brought this gecko inside. First gecko I've seen with its tail attached for quite a while! These photos were first taken on my iPad but then it wouldn't let me submit them, so I had to take photos of the photos on my phone.

Additional comments? - Two sulphur crested cockatoos. They were being harrassed a little bit by some noisy miners. I was in my bedroom when I heard a cockatoo squawking. It sounded very close to our house, so I looked out of the window in confusment (since they never came close) and saw a cockatoo flying and landing in a tree on the otherside of the fence. There happened to be two birds, each in seperate trees. The bird in the tree closest to me stayed where it was for what seemed like ages until it flew off into the other tree where the second cockatoo was. The noisy miners continued to screech at them but. The second cockatoo soon flew off and landed in another tree. I could not see it from where I was. The first cockatoo stayed in that tree for what again seemed like ages and then it finally flew off. I was really happy since I'd never been that close before to a wild cockatoo.

Field Notes - This bird was found at Monarto today whilst I was on a school excursion to experience bird-banding. It was quite interesting to see all the different birds that they caught in the nets they had set up. The people weighed all the birds and fed some of them. This was with BioR and I think it was at Frahns Farm.
