Creery Wetlands, Mandurah, Western Australia
The fairy-wrens are beautiful family of birds, and here in south west Australia the common one so far has been the aptly named splendid fairy-wren.
These days BirdGuides puts everything out as Western this or Eastern that. The osprey we get in the UK is western osprey, the Australian bird is the eastern osprey, now considered a separate species. Obviously the main difference must be that it's a lot tamer than the western version. Can you imagine getting this close to an osprey in the UK?
Australian hobby.
Western corellas.
