Australian Birds

[caskur]

We had a pair on our front lawn this morning, having bugs for breakfast.



We could walk up to about three metres of them before they withdrew. Cheeky buggers.

I live very close to Fremantle cemetery and that place is awash with galahs, rainbow lorikeets, a red-tailed black cockatoos... sadly shitty ravens as well...lol



I was trying to get the silly things posing for me so I could wow the other photographers on fb but alas, I failed again...lol

If that doesn't get Fash back here, nothing will.

Funny little things they are.



My sister lives in the next block to me and has them nesting in a dead tree in her front yard.

Is that unusual at this time of year?

No... its winter so the rain makes the plants start to germinate... well be getting wildflower after wildflower for the next 6 months.



We've hardly had any rain this year. it's really tragic.

Just got back from a sojourn... river, beach and cemetery. I went to the cemetery to see how the Black Cockies are doing and they weren't there. This Straw-necked Ibis was though.
