Mundane as Australian suburbia might be, we often do get interesting visitors. This web page contains a selection of recent suburban wildlife pictures of interest.

The Australian Pied Cormorant (Phalacrocorax varius), is frequently seen near beaches or inland lakes in coastal area, where it feeds on fish in shallow waters. These photos were captured at the lake on the Clayton campus of Monash University, in early September, 2013, using a Sigma AF 400mm f/5.6 APO prime lens on a Nikon D90.
