More Birds …
Welcome Swallow. Pretty little bird.
Noisy Mynah. Noisy bigger bird.
Young crow, made it through the winter, eater of other little things. The Welcome Swallows were harassing it up on the lamp post.
Rainbow Lorikeet at the bird bath. Caught between movements, lots of doing around the stillness.
Butcherbird, hooked beak for tearing at stuff. More doing. Gotta keep doing til we’re done.
But do we have to do so much, let’s go for a swim with the Pelican brothers and sisters.
Duck, not doing much at all, just getting away from the guy with the camera. Gotta do something …
Welcome Swallow – what’s that down there? Hmmm, we’ll never know.
Young Magpie, getting less jumpy at my back door. Say hello Maggie …
An unexpected visitor. Owl, I’m fairly sure. An uncommon for me night time shot, by torchlight – I’m not equipped for distance night work. She didn’t see me behind the light.
… or nothing much happening.
Winter is just breaking into spring here in Brisbane. Those that have survived are the strongest or the luckiest of their kind. Not that our winters are harsh, but everywhere is itself, not somewhere else.
And with nothing much happening nothing much happens, just survival, which is instinctive anyway. No effort.
It’s when we make an effort that more effort is needed, to do the more that happens when something is made to happen.
The more we do, the more happens, the more we have to do.
Until the realisation dawns, all doing gets is more doing.

What nonsense is this my lord. Shall we put it out of its misery?
Hmmm, I don’t know Sir Gawain. It might not be as crazy as it sounds.
