We have been enjoying all the lovely birds at our place. The latest visitor has been a tawny frogmouth - very odd looking but
interesting.We also have a couple of magpies which have become quite tame and probably too reliant upon us. We have only to walk into the back yard and they come to see if we have something for them.
The rainbow lorikeets look fake. So lurid (in a good way). I hope the magpies have a plan for the next six weeks. And the owl is lovely. I'm so fond of owls.
ReplyDeleteWhen Mel was leading Brownies her leader name was Tawny Frogmouth, so I've always been partial to them. I can't believe you got such a good photo of them.
ReplyDeleteWe think the owl may have used that tree for some time. A week or two ago when we were mowing he was disturbed when we pulled on a branch that was hanging down. So it is his tree and he was asleep when the photos were taken - no challenge to get close! He does his best work at night and we knew he lived in the vicinity from his calls. None of which alters the fact that it is all remarkable.
