I'm really envious Ferry!
Right now the rain is horizontal and we're still mid-lockdown!
Our birds are either staying home or walking.
Nice collection my friend.

If I went for a walk I'd end up being blown into the Southern Ocean!
Shouldn't bitch too much, we're only some 12 days off the Winter Solstice and all the wetlands are getting well soaked.
Just to rub salt into the 'Lockdown Wounds' the first week was top down sunny and clear days.........but we could only wander within a 5K radius of home and that isn't much use.
I'll shut up and go back to scanning my collection of B&W negatives.

Walked for two and a halve hour through a snow storm and a foot of snow early February just to get a few photos.. as long as you keep moving (And have good cold weather equipment) not really a problem.

Victoria has just had a really nasty cold front come through with extra heavy rainfalls and flash flooding in some areas.
So I'm (selfishly) hoping the wetlands get back to this level by the time Spring rolls round!
On the subject of birds......Corellas are pretty noisy and highly sociable birds, never more so when food is on hand.

I'm more of a plane spotter when it comes to my photography, but when I see something cool in nature (birds and insects in particular) and I have my camera handy, you can bet I'm all over it.
Here's a pair of Cardinals that made a nest in my back yard a month ago:
Blue Jay chick in my driveway:
Mocking Bird singing in the rain:
Caught a few raptors in my viewfinder over the years too.
The fluffiest Red Tailed Hawk I've ever seen:
Red Shoulder Hawk tearing into a tasty snake:
Not a bird but I thought I'd share this Opossum that took a fancy to my grill. Don't worry, I didn't eat her. She was too cute (and helpful to the ecosystem) for consumption:
