Grey Butcherbird (Cracticus torquatus). |
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 Grey Butcherbird (Cracticus
torquatus) is an increasingly common sight in Australian suburbs, and
is known for its distinctive call. It is like its larger cousins, the
Australian magpies, a predator and scavenger.
These photos were captured in Noble Park in 2013 and 2014, using a Nikon D90 with the Sigma AF 400mm f/5.6 APO, and Nikon D7100 with a Sigma AF 100-300mm f/4 EX IF APO HSM, handheld. Photos and text ¿
