Well deserved, although I’m still going to soapbox that the Baudin’s Cockatoo (which unfortunately didn’t win) is under immediate threat by the proposed Alcoa mine in the southwest Jarrah forests! It’s some of the last habitat they have left, and once it’s gone, it’s gone for good.

I do love tawnies though. They’re such characters.

Here’s a photo I snagged of some tawny frogmouths which had the misfortune of trying to sleep next to a construction site. Not the best photo but they are beautiful birds!

Old frogmouth got out to a really fast start, was always going to be hard to catch

Would’ve loved to see the gang-gang cockatoo win…

But it doesn’t look as funny I guess.

Good bird.
