Birds

 

Most of the many resident species are vocal but remain hidden.  Or they are difficult to photograph because they are small and/or move rapidly, or stay in the high trees.  Here is the collection we have managed to snap so far.

 

1:  Kookaburras waiting for table service

 

 

2:  And getting impatient

 

 

3:  A brush turkey

4:  Pardelot, pretty little bird, but messy

 

 

 

5:  Female and male King Parrots

 

 

6: Scarlet honeyeater feeding in a bottlebrush tree

 

7: White-headed doves

 

 

8: Sacred Kingfisher (a beautiful, tiny cousin to the Kookaburra)

 

 

 

13  King parrots, crimson rosellas, white-headed doves and Wonga pigeons come to feed outside our window, seduced by bird seed
