    Every one seemed to enjoy the call of the Grey Shrike-thrush so I've added another one. The sound of magpies greets us most mornings at the moment. A pair recently nested a tree above our kitchen window. The parents are currently wandering around the garden each being trailed by a begging...

    These birds are all over the place but I saw most from a speeding coach or train. However there were two in a square in Christchurch. I was surprised how beautiful their call was.

    One year old Wendy is one of our favourites. We have known her since birth and she has introduced us to her kookaburra friends (see my kookaburra photo).

    Just pruning my old Cruise pictures and I came across a couple that somehow didn't make it the first time round. The Australian Magpie is a truly magnificent bird.

    When I was down at the new patch a few weeks ago I spotted this Magpie near the houses and when I took this photo it just stayed around for a while and then flew up on to one of the balconies, quite at home!lol I liked the colouring of this and thought that I could share! Do hope you all like it!

    I used to think Pica pica was my favourite bird. Now it could be Gymnorhina tibicen. They have such clear markings.

    These Australian birds are just like English Crows and Magpies. This one was not going to run away just because of me.

    A lucky catch, two juveniles had a bit of a tussle over this grasshopper. Unfortunately I managed to amputate a foot. I liked the background in this shot. (black backed race)

    This shot was taken out of my kitchen window. Every now and then I catch him resting on the veranda in the shade. Luckily I had the window open and he stayed for a few quick portrait shots. A flash would have allowed more detail to be captured, looks like I will have to start saving. This was...

    Another bird I enjoy photographing, another portrait shot I liked. There were 6 of these living near where we were staying on the weekend. This particular bird and his mate had two young that were very demanding, we had quite a few hours enjoyment watching him feeding the young.This is the black...
