With return of the warmer weather the last couple of days, the birds are all very busy and thankfully give me plenty of opportunity to get more photos.
As you can see from the way he looks up the Grey Shrike Thrush was very intrigued when Nick started whistling to him, at one stage he can right up to the windowsill, but never answered back.
At least 3 Grey Fantails were extremely busy fluttering around catching insects. And the acrobats of today are the Green Rosellas - we never stop watching and enjoying their antics!
The one with his/her back to the camera had been in an argument a couple of weeks ago and we noticed the tailfeathers are still out of plum.
Today lots of different birds making quick visits. Put some Mandarin segments on the lawn, only the Silvereyes and Grey Shrike Thrush were interested.
The Blue Wren that was changing into his blue mating suit has not appeared for the last 5 days. His mates were here, counted 11 this morning.
A Tasmanian Thornbill landed on the Weeping Cherry tree, quickly hopped on the gutter and flew away before I could take a photo. Haven't seen him come back yet but know he is around hiding somewhere.
No doubt Des will spot him on Wednesday!
The big Candle Cassia is still honey-sucking favorite for several birds. Lovely to see it!
Eastern Spinebill
Happy bird watching!
Annette and Nick.
Those Rosellas are pretty vicious when they disagree with each other. I was in the bush one day when two met above and the feathers just rained down, along with the screams. John
