Birds: Australia

Having made multiple trips to Australia targeting their delightful dragonflies, I thought I should start taking more note of their magnificent bird life. I did have “The Antipodes” lumped together originally but decided they needed to be separated, New Zealand’s birds being generally quite different.

Here’s what I have so far,though I hope to add to it. I love Australia.
