  1. Spectator

    Spectator

    In the grass beside the track where the Skylark was enjoying his bath, was a Yellowhammer, I'm sure he was wondering what was going on. It had been a while since I'd seen them on the patch, so that day was sure turning into a red letter day LOL I've a feeling they may be recovering from the...

    Dust bathing Round 4

    No, you didn't miss rounds 2 and 3, I've omitted them!! The Skylark kept up his dust bathing for ages, gradually getting closer to us. It really was so entertaining to watch. This picture is towards the end of his last go at it. Saturday Fun

    Rather distant fly-over

    So the chat Alex had with the two guys produced the information that one of them, an experienced birdwatcher, had seen and photographed a Noisy Scrubwren that morning, which was on our list for the day. He showed us his picture which was on his camera. So after lunch we set off following his...

    Standing proud

    Fortunately I found a White-faced Heron a bit closer, so managed a rather better picture than that of the Osprey. That meant I could put the camera down and concentrate on eating lunch. It was about then I realised that Alex was having a chat with another couple of guys, quizzing them for any...

    After driving round exploring a few roads we hauled up at a picnic area overlooking a gorge. Rather distant, on the far side was an Eastern Osprey looking rather as if he was on sentry duty LOL.

    Beware Deep Water

    The next day (my penultimate one in Albany) was spent at Waychinicup NP. Another with glorious coastal views. It seems to be in two sections with the Many Peaks NP in between them. We turned off the main road and drove a long way in. I got Alex to stop here so I could get a picture of the road...

    Invasion

    I could have given you a picture of a single Northern Wheatear, but this was the first time I'd managed to find 4 together on my patch; think they'd just arrived. We were certainly being treated that day, what with yesterday's Skylark too. Remember that big black hole in the dyke (wall)... it...

    We had a wonderful session on my Up the Hill patch a couple of weeks ago. Not just one but two pairs of Wheatears were just arrived and this Eurasian Skylark spent ages enjoying a dust bath! I really liked this pose I captured. Saturday Fun Sorry to be so late with this, as I was half way...

    Young

    I had a little wander round the houses in the early evening. The only bird I saw was this Australian Magpie. rather nicely lit by the sinking sun. I'm not too sure if this is a juvenile or immature magpie. You can tell it's young by the brownish plumage.

    Nuts are old hat!

    This Great Spotted Woodpecker seems to prefer having fatballs on his diet today!! I think they must be nesting a bit away from the feeding station, as I've not seen either of them for a couple of weeks now. Unless, of course, they're coming when I'm not there.

    I don't often get pictures of Great Crested Grebe, at least not good ones, but this guy was a little closer than normal. He'd caught a huuuge fish and seemed to be having trouble swallowing it, but it disappeared eventually. Anyone able to ID it? Saturday Fun

    Another Willie-wagtail of the morning and this one I managed to get to show a bit of the wagging action. Here you can see another part of it: https://www.birdforum.net/gallery/posturing.649086/ There was another one after this. Quite unlike our Pied Wagtail's action.

    Back at home after our run out to Muttonbird, a new guy was waiting to introduce himself; my first sighting of a juvenile Red-eared Firetail.
