The original hipster; a Topknot Pigeon. He was vegan long before it became fashionable and has perfected that hair over 20 million years. -- #topknotpigeon #lopholaimusantarcticus #malaannationalpark #fnq #athertontablelands #mistymountains #birdsofaustralia #australianbirds #australia #pigeon #evolution #australiana #earlymiocene #miocene #rainforest #wettropics #vegan #hipster (at Malaan-Nationalpark)

The only good thing about waking up really early is capturing these colours. An Eastern Spinebill (canthorhynchus tenuirostris) safeguarding his Powderpuff Lillypilly (Syzygium wilsonii) flowers. -- #easternspinebill #powderpufflillypilly #lillypilly #earlymorning #nature #photography #australianbirds #birdsofaustralia #birdlovers #naturelovers #natureart #birdphoto #birdlife #malaannationalpark #naturerefuge #australiana #australianwildlife (at Malaan-Nationalpark)

After being stuck inside for almost a month nursing a blood infection in my leg, today I managed to hobble into the forest down to the river that runs through the forest where I live. I had genuinely forgotten what beauty was until I saw this. I shall forever seek beauty and never settle for the mundane. -- #forestphilosophy #wettropics #malaannationalpark #taylorshillnaturerefuge #naturerefuge #nature #naturalworld #river #waterfall #rainforest #forest #tropics #fnq #queensland #tropicalqueensland #athertontablelands #tablelands (at Malaan National Park)

Having Brian as a forest comrade, he's taught me a few things. I.e. how to catch bugs on the wing, how to build a cyclone-resistant nest, and how to convince humans to give you a sip of their coffee. These skills aren't really useful to me considering I'm not a bird but I'm always open to learning new things. In exchange for his knowledge of this forest he's asked me to take a few natural-looking photos of him being relaxed and "in his element." He's such a poser! -- #forestcomrade #brian #lewinshoneyeater #honeyeater #birdsofaustralia #forest #malaannationalpark #birdphotography #bird #birds #macro #photography #wettropics #fnq #queensland #australianwildlife #travellingillustrator #nature #naturephotography (at Malaan National Park)

Might just close this sketchbook for the night and look at it with fresh eyes tomorrow. Tell me if I’m going overboard with the time-lapses, will you. — — — — — #greyheadedrobin #malaannationalpark #birdsofthewettropics #heteromyiascinereifrons #birdsofaustralia #birds #naturalhistory #illustration #wettropics #birdart #art #timelapse https://www.instagram.com/p/CFwocRjF_sq/?igshid=1rjwrnah82vob
