More birds
Peaceful Dove and Grey Strike-thrush this time. Once more from Tenterfield.
Golden-mantled Rosella

Brush turkey
Some images of the brush turkey. Not the best looking Australian bird, but he was busy tearing up the garden mulch trying to get it to nearby bushland to make a mound.
Destroying the gardens at Smugglers on the Beach at Coffs Harbour, where I am staying for a few days.
