I saw a yellow faced honey eater today and so spring must truly be coming because they do not hang around in the cold weather. It has been getting mighty nippy here for the time of year. I found this image and then found the e-text site where it was which was about Captain Charles Sturt's discoveries in Australia. It's a beautiful picture.
Charles Sturt -
Narrative of an expedition into Central Australia
The birds have been having fun lately. The pigeons have been a bit heavy footed on the roof and the pergola, but the blackbirds completely shocked me when I saw one of them stealing the nesting material , piece by piece, which the pigeons had brought to one of the trees. The pigeons have gone off in a sulk now but they'll be back. It's not as if there isn't plenty of nest building material in my garden!! The blackbirds are building a nest down the back.
I also found this site where there are photos of our native birds, including the honey eaters.
