Close encounter with a magpie
There are magpies everywhere. This one lived by the beach, quite a long way from my home.

Thanks Audrey for this comment. The top two ducks are Australian Grey Teal, below is a Pacific Black Duck. I hope they won’t get blown away- soon to be fair game: Duck Season open – 8am on Wednesday 26 May 2021-Season close – 30 minutes after sunset on Monday 14 June 2021. Daily bag limit of five game ducks per day for the entire season.
I too, hope they survive.
My last Koala picture. This time I found one awake and looking interested in me! He was very happy to pose for me and a collection of other passer-bys who looked up in the direction of my lens.
In amongst the seagulls was one black bird, a Sooty Oyster catcher, I think. Seen while on a short break to the seaside.
Here is another koala. This one was being very shy.
Took this picture of a koala in Warrnambool. He was hiding in a gum tree eating leaves.
Spotted this big bird during my visit to my sister in Warrnambool.
I noticed this tree while walking.
Cloudy this evening, but no rain predicted. Sunset was lovely.
