  • Birds from a later morning walk

    I like to get out just after sunrise but didn't get out until after nine on this day, so the birds were less active than I usually see, and the best light had gone. I did find a few.

    1. Australian Magpie. There are always a few around foraging along the paths and this one wasn't bothered by me.

    4. Pied Currawong with a grasshopper. It just sat in the tree and didn't move as I walked past

    5. Australasian Darter. The water was quite muddy but the camera has brought out the blue from the sky

    Can't help but see some intelligence behind those eyes. I wonder what evolution has in store for those dinosaurs. Interesting and unusual shot of the Darter so much at home in the water.
    Better a full bottle in front of me
    than a full frontal lobotomy.

      Thanks Hans.The magpies and currawongs (and crows) do seem very intelligent birds.

    Very nice. You managed the light well. The eyes in that Currawong are bold.

    Love 'em. I have quite a few Jackdaws in the garden at various times of the day. Some are frit, others stay their ground when I walk there. I find if I don't look at them directly, they are more likely to stay...Lovely photos...

      Great images of an Aussie iconic bird. They can be very friendly if you give them a snack. Lovely darter shot too. The sky is always a good colour changer for water.

      My memory's not as sharp as it used to be.

        Thanks Isac. I usually ignore the magpies as I would end up with far too many photos of them, but nothing much else around on this day.
