A Few Native Birds

Butcherbird, mum or dad, comes to the back door a lot during the rain – lots of that recently. And so we get acquainted …

Kookaburra, they’ve not been around much lately, probably off to greener pastures – where they get fed enough, given the weather is not conducive.

Bush Stone Curlew, sitting during the day at Victoria Point hill overlooking the jetty and ferries to Coochiemudlo. That’s a well guarded mushroom.
It has been raining a lot recently and not a lot going on in the garden, most days. But everything is getting on with the business of living, no doubt. With a few regular visitors … and things get done one after the other.

Great pictures of these beautiful personalities! I like the Bush Stone Curlew, guarding the little mushroom ;-) The legs are amazing :-) We could use some rain overhere, we have very little at the moment.
Thanks Almuth. Apologies for late reply, just back from time away.
They do have their own character, don’t they, the various animals and individuals.
Rain is something we’ve had a lot of recently. But not sure it has done anything but wet everything. :-) … Of course, everything is greener, and my garden is still thriving on my return. Tomorrow I’ll see if the wildlife is still about. 👋
Never mind! I am glad to hear your garden is thriving and I hope the wildlife does the same :-) Honestly: everything is green and lush here at the moment even though it is barely raining. Nature is astonishing, as always. We will see how long that lasts…
Nature cycles on regardless, until we find a way to harness the Earth itself as a source of energy. In our progression towards the stars. Who knows what we will be then. ✨ 🤩 Starstruck.
Good question! Starstruck, I like that :-)
Always look forward to your photos and stories about them. Please keep it up!
As long as I have eyes to see and fingers to tap on a keyboard. Nature always presents in some form. 👍
