    LOL The Mistletoebird came back to give me another try, at least there was no glass in the way. Gorgeous isn''t he.

  2. Coming thick and fast

    Coming thick and fast

    We went outside to have a conducted tour of the property, well the bit close to the house. I had to lean against the wall to steady myself for this picture as he was really pretty high up in that tree. We had previously heard a Horsfield's Bronze Cuckoo way back on the Gold Coast, but I never...

    B/W Bathers

    ... well with a little dab of yellow too. So I got a much closer view of a New Holland Honeyeater that morning as this was the next to come in to bathe. Breakfast just had to wait! TTTW

    Another new bather

    I'm not too sure how I managed to eat my breakfast, as another new bird landed on the water tray. He had the most wonderful time diving in and splashing about, jumping out, diving back in again. But got him perched nicely for a second here. Very wet feathers still LOL A little Brown Thornbill...

  6. No berries

    No berries

    At the end of the first day of the festival we headed further down the peninsula to stay with some friends, John and Dora, who are very knowledgeable about the birds to be seen in their area. And what an amazing property they have too. One of the first birds I saw there was a Mistletoebird as...
