Well you're missing out...

Set your camera to "centre weighted" metering for birds.

I missed out... I spotted but was unable to get shots of my Osprey however... I know where it haunts... I'll be back tomorrow.



I got this instead...Perth is VERY dry, VERY chilly and very very windy.

They're nice shots too.

It's a lovely spot.



I think we are going to have a stunning sunset but I am too lazy to go get it at the beach. I had a visitor today and they wore me out.

I went down there yesterday.. That is Bicton where I come from. There is a golf course there and across is a pretty good nature strip along the Swan River. That part of the river is called, Blackwall Reach. I can't afford to live there nowadays though unless I win 22 million on lotto.



I didn't see my Osprey friend but as I was walking along the trail, a sign said Splendid Fairy-wrens live there too. I never knew that.

Notice my pictures and one of the galahs chewing the trunk of a tree? Those birds in your video need a thick branch to chew on... and the noise those birds are making sound like the most tortuous sound I've ever heard... all that plastic shit needs removing... those poor birds.



This is the sound of happy birds.

They're very playful birds..



Before I buy a parrot,  I'll read as much information about them as I can find.

Galahs are fun.



When you read up on parrots, take note of Rule 1.



Parrots do not live in cages.
