This Syzygium is the remaining one of two I had in my garden. The other one was killed by borers and this one will also expire soon by the same means. Until then we can enjoy the delightful pink flowers. There are over 1200 species in the genus Syzygium (many not yet fully described) and I can't recall the exact species name of this one (I used to know it). Some Syzygium, (including this one) feature red or pinkish leaves when new growth appears in spring (now) which adds to their appeal as an ornamental. #flora #nature #Australia #myphoto

Noisy Miner (Manorina melanocephala) in a Buckinghamia tree. Backyard birds. #birds #nature #Australia #myphoto

Royal Spoonbill (Platalea regia). #birds #nature #Australia #myphoto

Black-faced Cuckoo-Shrike (Coracina novaehollandiae). I have never gotten so close to one of these and the one time I do the light is not so good. Still striving to capture this species well. One of my favourite birds. #birds #nature #Australia #myphoto
