Just a few mixed birds we have seen around our area.
Australian Hobby (Falco longipennis)
This Australian Hobby was a case of being in the right place at the right time.
Fan-tailed Cuckoo (Cacomantis flabelliformis)
The Fan-tailed Cuckoo and Noisy Pitta we saw at Bymien Picnic Area in Cooloola National Park.
Noisy Pitta (Pitta versicolor)
For more birds visit Wild Bird Wednesday.
