Released Their 2022 Calendar And It Features Incredible Bird Photographs “BirdLife Australia”
Some may say that 2021 felt like forever, while others feel like it flew by quickly. Anyhow, the new year is upon us and BirdLife Australia has some good news for those who enjoy having physical calendars to plan out their year. Australia’s largest bird conservation charity is sharing some of Australia’s most beautiful birds in their Birds on the Move: Connecting our World 2022 calendar.
When asked about choosing the pictures for this year’s calendar, a representative for BirdLife Australia said: “This calendar features some of Australia’s best bird photographers – of all ages, backgrounds and experiences. Once we’ve decided on a theme and what species we want to highlight, I find the photos for the calendar on social media, on image hosting services and from previous entries to our annual BirdLife Australia Photo Awards. This year’s calendar includes a record number of female photographers and people of colour.”

The Papuan Pitta is one of our more mysterious rainforest residents. These small, ground-dwelling birds migrate from New Guinea to breed in the humid rainforests of northern Cape York Peninsula during the wet season (between December and March). Despite their bright plumage, these secretive birds are more easily heard than seen ‒ but can be spotted alone or in pairs, foraging among the leaf litter for prey.
