Noisy miners (Manorina melanocephala) - Kedron Brook, Brisbane, Australia - April 2024

This photo is notable because it's the first photo I've done using Linux for my entire end to end post processing. My workflow isn't close to as efficient as it was in Lightroom, but it feels good to be free of it!

Short walk on campus today. Not much about in the middle of the day, but here are some #NoisyMiner s having a drink, a #LaughingKookaburra just sitting around on a branch, an #EasternWaterDragon sunning itself on the lawn, and the underside of a #RainbowLorikeet

A Laughing Kookaburra on a branch, in the shade. Didn't appear to be doing much, just chillin'
An Eastern Water Dragon (a type of lizard) on some grass. It is giving me side-eye. This type of lizard had a row of spines down its back, and come colourful markings on face and chest. Body length was about 30cm, and another 30cm or so for the tail.
The colourful underside of the Rainbow Lorikeet. From the right, a red beak, blue head, red eye, green and yellow neck (back), red and orange chest, blue belly, green and yellow bum.

The leucistic magpie (mostly white magpie, famous around UQ), seems to have bred again, as this semi-leucistic magpie is presumably another of its brood.

Also, Noisy Miners are all over campus at the moment. They are by far, the most prominent bird there.

A Noisy Miner on a conifer branch, with spiderweb stuck to its beak. It is looking quizzically at the web, wondering how to get it off.

An upside down Noisy Miner.

There's a lot of them about at the moment on campus, and not a lot of anything else; but then it is winter.
