Gathering …
… at the birdbath.
Nasturtium in the dying light of the day, reflected. As we reflect, on what’s of value perhaps.

Local wallaby, a frequent visitor to the garden, enjoys a drink of clean water. A little shy still.
Young water dragon at Kate’s place. Included after Kate spotted a younger on here, but I didn’t get a shot.
The zinnia are doing very well lately. Shooting up and presenting many colours and shades for our viewing – sensible – pleasure.
Blue faced honey eater and a noisy myna reflecting on their reflections, or each other, but no animosity, just unassuming self expression.
Drops of water being loosed from her feathers. They dive into the water and often take off very quickly, maybe it’s the vulnerability of being wet through that makes them wary at such times.
All images in this post are taken with a new (for me) camera. Just getting used to it …
Young pied magpie, those great warbling singers of the morning. Mother has been taking them around the place, teaching what she knows.
The birdbath is filled daily with fresh rain water from the tank. I think they know the difference and enjoy that. I know I would.
And the noisy myna, also a mum (or dad) watching over her babies below. Mums all love their babies, you know.
It’s a very popular place at different times of the day. As can be seen by the nature of some of the visitors.
There is often some agitation between the different kinds of birds, but it’s just territorial display, nothing too aggressive.
Nature, different creatures and forms just doing what they do as they go about their daily lives. Birds being birds, bathing.
No ongoing issues, nothing held on to in memory, to be revived for airing another time.

Enjoyed this post, Mark! Love seeing the wildlife that is so different from what is around me! :)
Thanks Laura. Every place has its unique nature that it’s a pleasure to know.
Quite a lot of visitors at the drinking station :-)
Yes, it’s been a busy spot recently.
