Foraging
After breakfast we started off back at the Ponds on the way in to Albany. The Common Sandpiper, was still around, on a different pond and rather distant. I really had a job finding him, through the viewfinder, so had to look for something big I could use as a guide. A bush at the top of the...- delia todd

A pretty morning visitor
I didn't see many of these Western Rosellas, in fact the only ones I did see were in Alex and June's garden. Thought you'd like to see what the plumage on their back is like for a change- delia todd

Friend or Foe
I'm not so sure my first thought about this image was correct, in that the Eurasian Coot was admiring himself. I've a feeling he may think that's a rival, as the next few images in the sequence showed him diving, and I really do believe he was trying to chase away the intruder LOL.- delia todd

Going up
One of the species that really gives me a thrill to see at our feeding station. The Eurasian Treecreeper is my favourite woodland bird. Here he is, having feasted on some peanut butter and is now making his way up to a fat log, which he also enjoys.- delia todd

Some birds....
..... can be tricky to identify from the back, unless you get a handy head turn. Not so with Long-tailed Tits LOL, they can't be mistaken for anything else in our trees. In addition they usually arrive mob-handed. Saturday Fun- delia todd

January Sunset .jpg
I was just thinking it was possibly time to draw the curtains, when I looked up and saw this magnificent sunset through the window. Jumped up, quick change of camera settings and.... beautiful rich colours! Don't often see one quite so good as this.- delia todd

Surprise rubbish
As June and I continued to explore the ponds, we reached yet another one when a "whoosh" and "peep" went past us. "What was that?" said June. I had an idea, but couldn't believe what I'd heard. It wasn't until I found it sheltering in the darkest corner he could find, that I confirmed it as a...- delia todd

Pretty ones
Really, of all the anas species of ducks, I think the Chestnut Teal are right up there in the beauty stakes! The female, for me, is rather difficult to separate from the Grey Teal. This pair swam across one of the ponds as we continued our wander.- delia todd

Sleepy time?
We went off into Albany, as Alex had one or two calls to make. He dropped us off at some ponds just on the outskirts of the town. Wandering round them, we first came to a pair of Little Black Cormorants, and who didn't see the Pacific Black Ducks, both in the background and foreground? Still...- delia todd

Red-capped Parrot is rather large at 36cm (14 inches), even for a parrot. They called almost be called "rainbow" though, couldn't they with all those colours on them. Nice birds.- delia todd

Athletic
Well what other title could I use with the World Athletics Championships coming from Glasgow LOL!!? We arrived at the feeders to find this Common Pheasant sitting on top of a gate post, perhaps it was warmer on his feet up there as the ground was rather frozen with snow on the ground.- delia todd

An "Ouch" Shot
My friend had phoned me and said he was watching a load of finches, including Brambling, along near the town's water treatment plant. So off I went to meet up with him. Of course, by the time I'd got there they'd all gone, just left with a few Rooks! After a while I decided to move down the...- delia todd

Little and Large
A Ruddy Turnstone wandered across in front of us accompanied by a Red-necked Stint... would never have thought there was such a size difference as I hadn't ever considered a turnstone to be a large bird LOL. And although I'd only recently been introduced to these stints, I didn't think of them...- delia todd

A bit further along and there was a lonely Greater Crested Tern. Another large gull, though it is smaller than the one I showed you yesterday. They appear to be found all round the coast of Australia.- delia todd
