Re: Birds seen in my garden

Lucky you to have such colour !
Our birds are very sombre .

Re: Birds seen in my garden

I haven't logged them today Muddy, but off hand, I'd say your list pretty much looks like mine would. An interesting project though....

We have a few nesting pigeons and collared doves across the road, and it always surprises me how quickly they disappear and all goes quiet when a family of hawks are circling high overhead...

PS:- Add a gaggle of Geese gabbling away while flying overhead during my early morning run today. They were probably discussing my ridiculously slow pace.....

Re: Birds seen in my garden

I would give anything to see flee flying parrots in my garden, you are so, so lucky Brucey. I know the cockatoos are noisy buggers but I wouldn't care how loud they screamed. I'm so envious

Re: Birds seen in my garden

I once saw the 'Flying Pickets' at Sheffield.....

Re: Birds seen in my garden

Only the Rainbow Lorikeets are colourful really, the magpies and willy wagtails are my favourites - magpies are the garden sound of Australia for me. The only similarity with the English magpie is the colour - ours are a type of butcher bird I believe.




Where I live I hear them more than Kookaburras.

Re: Birds seen in my garden

I have trouble identifying birds at a distance these days.
I was delighted to see my male blackbird with a deformed wing in the garden today looking very fit and well.

I haven't seen him for a while. He has been around about 5 years quite an achievement considering his deformed wing.

Re: Birds seen in my garden

I love the way Magpies strut about the garden, they look like little waiters in their black suits and white shirts....

Re: Birds seen in my garden

Me too, Queenie. I would love to see those birds in the wild.

Muddy, that's a good selection you have visiting.
They must approve of your cooking.
