Continuing the saga! When it was being chased by the M/Lark it picked up a strand of hair that the M/L had dropped (to help build the nest 'maybe?') but like the comment from Recurvirostra that the 'Noisy Miner' was going to take a long time to build its nest (had two strands in its...
Yesterday as I was about to leave to go to see my G/Kids this little one hovered around my kitchen window and Kelly yelled "look at the bird" I yelled "Get the camera!!!" By the time I had got the camera and got outside it was sitting on the wheel barrow and then off on to the side mirror on...
I was checking my uploads and had missed this one!! It had sat in the tree making that beautiful 'Sciss' sound and I caught the mouth wide open, almost singing for its supper, thought that I could share!!
Around 9am today, Pete spotted this fellow sitting on the wire outside the kitchen window, when I went outside I couldn't find it. About 1pm I spotted it in the fir trees next to the stables and managed to get several shots whilst it was calling to the insects to come out!! The sound is just...

Excitement again a 'New Bird' This bird was on the fence next to the road-side, At first glance I thought it was a 'Willie Wagtail' but it didn't wag!! I hopped out of the car and got close and heard this churring noise and realised that we had a 'Newbie!' It was quite happy to pose and I got...
Only ID'ed on our property last year (have been here 20 years) but this is the first half decent shot of it - catching the last few rays of the late afternoon sun.
this flycatcher makes a gurgling sound in his throat to bring out insects and then he pounces. he perches about 1 foot off the ground and watches intently as he's doing here.
