1) Australian White Ibis. Quite an ugly bird and known locally as a "bin-chickens" or "tip-turkeys" for their proclivity of rummaging through trash cans or found on rubbish tips looking for food.
I quite like this shot due to the lovely afternoon light but also the wallpaper like back-ground as I wouldn't normally post a photo of this common and rather unattractive bird. I was using my Z9 due to the Z8 being recalled, and the 800 PF

2) Whilst looking for birds in the bush, this curious little Eastern Rosella was foraging around for insects and grubs and didn't seem concerned about me at all. He was quite close and near the MFD of the 800 PF. I love these little guys as they are quite curious and characterful.
