Dr Micha CampbellShocked/not shocked that <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/UQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UQ</a>'s LNP club have displayed a pro-T-*ump flag at Market Day. UQ young libs have always been entitled scum.

David de Groot 📸Today's campus birds started with a small group of three Bush Stone-curlews this morning, and then a family of ducks, some swamphen chicks and a Noisy Miner this afternoon.<a href="https://photog.social/tags/Bird" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bird</a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/UQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UQ</a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/AustralianWildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AustralianWildlife</a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/WildOz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WildOz</a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/BushStoneCurlew" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BushStoneCurlew</a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/NoisyMiner" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NoisyMiner</a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/AustralasianSwamphen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AustralasianSwamphen</a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/AustralianWoodDuck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AustralianWoodDuck</a>

David de Groot 📸Continuing on the Damp Bird theme. A Welcome Swallow in the rain, and two Buff-banded Rails (of the four observed) also wandering about in the rain. It should be noted, the photographer was also damp, 'cause holding an umbrella and wielding a 600mm lens are incompatible things to do at once.<a href="https://photog.social/tags/AustralianWildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AustralianWildlife</a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/WildOz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WildOz</a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/bird" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bird</a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/UQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UQ</a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/WelcomeSwallow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WelcomeSwallow</a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/BuffBandedRail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BuffBandedRail</a>

Auld Ma TwəggThis little friend was hanging out at UQ the other day. I first met a pair near my place last year before finding a couple nesting under the Eleanor Schonell Bridge. This year, we saw a pair one morning — again, near our place, before a couple set up a nest at UQ. I wonder if they're all the same pair of birds, and if they come down river the same way every year to nest? I also met <a href="https://photog.social/@david" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@david</a> who took much better pics of the same individual and told me local bird calls!<a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/Birds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Birds</a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/WildOz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WildOz</a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/UQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UQ</a>

David de Groot 📸I went out to our Gatton Campus today for a job, and while I charged the car, I took in some of the local bird life. The Noisy Miners were busy harassing everyone, the Magpie followed me from tree to tree talking to me, the Crested Pigeon was not interested in being within 20m of me, so took refuge in a Jacaranda tree, and there were several Little Friarbirds flitting about. <a href="https://photog.social/tags/Bird" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bird</a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/UQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UQ</a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/AustralianWildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AustralianWildlife</a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/WildOz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WildOz</a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/NoisyMiner" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NoisyMiner</a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/AustralianMagpie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AustralianMagpie</a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/CrestedPigeon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CrestedPigeon</a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/LittleFriarbird" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LittleFriarbird</a>

David de Groot 📸Campus birds from the past couple of days. Of the two Masked Lapwing chicks I found a couple of weeks back, it seems only one remains, but it's healthy looking and foraging for itself. I also came across a couple of disapproving Bush Stone-Curlews, and this morning, a Pacific Black Duck, perched on a rock in the lake, absorbing the morning sun.<a href="https://photog.social/tags/bird" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bird</a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/UQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UQ</a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/AustralianWildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AustralianWildlife</a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/WildOz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WildOz</a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/MaskedLapwing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MaskedLapwing</a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/BushStoneCurlew" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BushStoneCurlew</a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/PacificBlackDuck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PacificBlackDuck</a>
