Birds in my backyard

by | posted in: Life and things, Photography | 0

After last week’s post about a newcomer bird in the garden, it occured to me it might be nice to show you some of my regulars. So here they are, in no particular order.

A young blue-faced honey eater. The green around the eye goes blue as they age
Adult blue-faced honey eater
A magpie lark, also known as a mud lark, or a pee wee
Scaly-breasted lorikeet – smaller but bolder than the rainbows
Crested pigeon. Dumb as a brick
A baby butcher bird begs for food
An adult butcher bird fans his tail
An adult magpie ignores the baby’s begging
A baby galah tries his luck with mum (who’s not very interested)
A long-billed corella. We get the other variety, too

Gee, and that’s just a handful. I’ll show you some more another time.
