Little Willie Wagtail (yes, that's it's common name :). I love these guys, their tails never stop moving - brushing from side to side to dislodge insects (hence their name) #birds #aussieBirds #australia #waillyWagTail #nature #wildBirds #naturePHotography

Lyrebirds are amazing mimics. They memorise and incorporate the sounds they hear into their mating song. In the modern world, this sadly but unsurprisingly includes chainsaws and car alarms.

Australian water dragon They are excellent swimmers and often found near water sources like rivers, streams, and ponds. Their long, powerful tails help them swim and dive through the water. #nature #australia #naturePhotography #dragon #waterdragon #lizard #reptile

What an adorable little bun. I hope they find their forever home. 💜 My buns are rex rabbits too. Their fur feels like velvet. Like touching a cloud :)

This little guy was waddling down my driveway a couple years back. What a cutie :) Echidnas are monotremes (egg laying mammals). Their babies are called puggles :) #echidna #wildlife #australianwildlife #australia
