Video and Photos of Zebra Finch family on branch and others

I was back at one of my favourite Zebra Finch location, on the Sandover Highway at the intersection where the Ampilatwatja turnoff is and there is a rest stop.
The video below is of a family (I think) of Dad, Mum and three immatures in various stages of becoming adults (I'm guessing this from their beaks). It was a windy day and they were sheltering behind the large water drum by the side of the ride on the branch of the tree.

Here are some other shots from the same day in the same location - adults first then some immatures:

  3. beautiful photos of a gorgeous "happy little bird". We used to have these frequent our backyard regularly while living at our last suburban home, we are yet to have them visit our rural patch, but I have seen then within 1km of out darling downs patch. Fantastic shots, esp of the immatures!
