Drongos, Riflebirds and Frogs

Every spring numerous drongos arrive to breed here.
They are very vocal, with a variety of calls.
When they are excited, they also raise their ear tufts.

The riflebirds have finished displaying and are now moulting, looking like a creature from Star Wars:

We finally had some good rainfall (but nothing dramatic like further south along the coast!), so the frogs are busy.

Some birds have finished their second brood:

and the King Parrots are back with more fledglings than ever.
