Thank you for dropping by to check out my blog. You will see a lot of other Blogs about birds I follow down the left hand side. I strongly encourage you to check some of these out as well, they are entertaining and I love to see birds from all over the world, I hope you do too.
Cheers,

Saw these birds in one of the local parks in Elliott.
In a group Pete. Probably 8-10 and can be noisy. Watched the group come across the park, hoping they would come near me which they did. Black Kite circled above and a different call by one made all of them be quiet and freeze in position, or get into low branches of tree. They mostly stayed in the shade which I thought may have been for the heat, but equally could be for cover from birds above.
Oh!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots!
I have never seen this guy before! :)
The last portrait is stunning!
Great pictures of a bird i'm sure i'll see one day! Was he on his lonesome or was there the family group i've heard usually hangs about?
