Up close with the birds in the backyard

They may be fairly common, but some of the birds that come to my backyard have lots of character. Here are some photos I've taken recently.

Magpie-lark

Crested Pigeon

Galah

Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike

Australian Ringneck

White-plumed Honeyeater

Love Central Australian colours and Parrots!

One reason I love taking photos of bids is get together a scene of the red dirt, late afternoon sun, reflections, and those beautifully coloured Parrots of Central Australia. Here are a few from today.

Cockatiel

Galah

Mulga Parrot

Colourful Parrots - Mulga Parrots, Cockatiels, Australian Ringeck Little Corella, Budgerigars

As the centre of Australia dries out, the remaining waterholes become very busy with bird activity. I visited one place recently and managed a few photos of a variety of birds.
