I do love the sound of a Spangled Drongo - what a great name.
We have:
Adelaide Rosellas
Lorikeets
Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos
Tree-climbers
Superb Blue Wrens
Magpies
Murray Magpies
Red-Tailed Finches
Wattlebirds
Golden Whistlers (very rare)
Scarlet Robins
Kestrels
Boobooks
Wedge-tailed Eagles (only in the sky)
and others that I can't remember!
The kangaroos have been coming down for years to eat the lawn in the dry months. The mum usually comes down with new joey and last year's joey and tolerates us - the old man hangs around on the hillside until we've gone. We've seen a lot of young adult kangaroos this year as well (previous joeys, perhaps) and we've been leaving the buckets of water out for them. We also get a lot of koalas around and the odd echidna. Of course the reptiles are well-represented as well - skinks and geckos, sleepys and blueys, and brown snakes and red-bellied blacks (not so nice to see). The cat came off worse from a brown a couple of years ago - an anxious wait and $1200 later...
