Quick visit from a Australasian figbird.

I heard some rustling in the tree this morning and we have a new visitor to our house which is always exciting!

I noticed a red colour moving around in the tree. Sorry the photos are not the clearest but I quickly got my phone out to snap a couple of shots so I could work out what type of bird this was. As I have never seen this bird in our yard before.

A quick google search and it turns out this is an Australasian figbird.

The Australasian figbird is found in the northern and eastern part of Australia.

This here is a male as he has a red skin around his eye where the females have a grey skin around the eye. With the black coloured head and olive green body these guys really stand out!

It's always cool to see a new bird species in the back yard, so I thought I would share it with you guys🙂
And I'm glad the local noisy minor gang didn't chase him away..
Well at least while I was here haha

Always exciting to find a new bird, isn't it?
The photos are great, phone cameras could capture the birds nicely.

It sure is exciting to see a new bird in the back yard! Normally the local noisy minor birds chase any other birds away. But I got to see this guy before he moved on 🙂

Wild figs and birds really some pig out simply on the figs, nice to see your fig bird with red eye patch.

They sure love figs. Was cool to to see one with a red eye path!

Some birds simply love to enjoy wild fig when fruiting, fun watching them!
