Happy bird-day to my blog
Australian Pelicans, Mallacoota, Victoria
TODAY MARKS THE FOURTH BIRTHDAY OF THIS BLOG ABOUT AUSTRALIAN BIRDS.
Happy birthday to my blog.
It has just passed the 950th article about Australian birds and is going from strength to strength as far as readership is concerned. Over 600 readers per day, from over 100 countries, and several thousand comments from interested birders worldwide.
Thank you to all of my faithful regular readers. Welcome to all of my new readers.
Thank you also to those who take the time to leave a question or a comment. You are valued. I especially appreciate those who say how much they enjoy this blog.
To celebrate this special occasion I invite readers to leave birthday greetings in the comments section. And while you are here, don’t forget all those other articles reaching back over four years now. Browse through the archives, click on the categories in the side bar or look through the many articles listed in the contents section.
To celebrate I’ve featured some of the best photos from the last year. Click on the photo to enlarge the image.

Thanks gwendolen and steve.
Writing about birds is one of my passions in life – which makes it easy writing!
Thanks for stopping by.
Happy birdday, Trevor!
Thanks Snail. Love hearing about all the creatures in your (new) necks of the woods.
Hi Trevor
Congratulations, and apologies for the long silence at this end of Aus. It’s that PhD plus a horde of visiting birders! I hope to make it down your way next year.

Thanks Denise,
I know what it is like to be studying. I’m currently doing my Master of Arts in Creative Writing and have just reached the half way mark of my thesis paper – a 40,000 word novel for children – birds feature in it of course! About the only birding I get to do at present is what I can see out of my office window. That can be wonderfully distracting though.
Happy bird-day to your blog. 4 years old, becoming quite a toddler. lol A great achievement though and a really interesting blog.
Thanks Kelvin,
I can’t believe that this blog has been going now for 4 years and this is the first time you have commented, my dear friend.
So welcome. Pleased you find it interesting.
Four years went fast! Congrats on maintaining a most interesting blog so well for so long. James.
Fun blog Trevor. I especially love the photo of the male Gang gang cockatoo at the Canberra Botanic Gardens. Gorgeous pic!
Cheers!
Don
Ah!
What it is to be 4 – keep up the good work

Hi Trevor,
Many congratulations! I once saw a birthday card that would be very apt for this occasion. It was all in pictures, so I’ll try to paint a word picture. It was animals, in a number of rows or lines. The first line had a hippopotamus, a bird, and two sheep, the second line was the same. The third line had the Hippo, the bird, a fawn and a sheep, and the fourth line the Hippo, bird and two sheep!
(Happy birthday to your blog, anyway!)
Thanks for dropping by James, Don, Peter and John. I really appreciate you taking time out to leave a few comments.
As John said, ‘Hippo birdie 2 ewe…’ Congratulations – 4 years is very impressive. Keep up the good work.
Wonderful pictures, Trevor. Happy birthday birding blog. It’s the first fime I’ve been here and it is a very professional blog. Keep writing, Trev!
Thanks Wendy and Sue (alias Abfabvet) – pleased you could find the time to stop by and leave a comment. Thanks too for the compliments.
