Members' photographs on this website
All photos displayed on this website have been taken by BirdLife Melbourne Members. We are gradually building up a library of photos to supplement the information on the website and assist with bird identification. However, we ask all photographers who have good quality digital photos of any of bird species listed below, to please make them available for display on the BirdLife Melbourne Website. Please contact Bill Ramsay, melbourne@birdlife.org.au if you would like to assist. If you have better photos of any of the existing photos linked to species we would also be grateful to receive them.
Photos are required for the following species, all of which have been seen on Recent BirdLife Melbourne/MELBOCA Outings: White-headed Pigeon, Topknot Pigeon, Fork-tailed Swift, Terek Sandpiper, Red-necked Phalarope, Common Gull-billed Tern, Grey-backed Storm-Petrel, Grey-faced Petrel, Blue Bonnet, White-winged Fairy-wren, Black Honeyeater, Striped Honeyeater, Orange Chat, Yellow-throated Miner, Purple-gaped Honeyeater, Chestnut-rumped Heathwren, Grey-crowned Babbler & Spotted Quail-thrush.
Thanks to our many contributors we only need another 18 species to have all 330 species seen on outings to date covered.
