Have you ever seen the delightful face of a Short-eared Brushtail Possum peeking out of its hidey-hole in an arboreal termite mound?
How about a Platypus surfacing to grind up its catch? Or a Red-browed Finch leaping up and down on the spot with a flower in its beak (it’s called a stem display, performed to attract the opposite sex)?
All of this and much more has greeted me on frequent visits to one very small patch of Noosa Shire.
Parrots are the birds that we mostly associate with bright, multi-coloured plumage. But the Rainbow Bee-eater is just as spectacular as many parrots. Rainbow Bee-eaters are most often seen on power lines and posts, from where they keep an eye
