Bird count in my yard

[den]

These birds are in my yard now, hopping in the garden.



Black faced cuckoo-shrike

Pied Butcher Bird

Willie Wagtail. When they get angry they flare their eyebrows. Beware the Flared Eyebrows!

corvus coronides. One has been nicknamed T-Bone becuase he nicks Scruffy's bones. The dog goes berserk when this happens.

Blue Wren

Eastern Rosella

a small family of peewees/mudlarks I dont have photos for

And of course various rats with wings (sparrows, blackbirds etc.)
All images stolen from various sites.


Maybe I should get a webcam. Den's Backyard Cam.

I'd better set up Den's Backyard Cam!

these are the Winter residents. I didn't mention the magpies, but they are there today.

We don't get *many* seagulls here, what with being 400km from the ocean and everything. 8) In the spring a pair of nankeen kestrals will nest in the gumtree across the road, and a pair of kites will nest in the park nearby. I'll see wattle birds, honey eaters, yellow robins, red-rumped parrots, king parrots, currawongs, apostle birds, choughs, kookaburras, supurb kingfishers (metalic blue) and red-backed kingsfishers (metallic green with a red back)

And, of course, the bloody PESTS. Sparrows, black birds, and starlings bloody starlings.
