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.

Your mum sounds very cool. 8) My mum won't tell me when there's blackbirds nesting in her yard. "But they're nice! And you'll kill them." But they're PESTS! She likes Aussie birds more, which is nice.

We don't get a lot of large animals in town; the occasional kangaroo or swamp wallaby follow the rail line into tows, and out again.

Australia doesn't have large animals that will kill you and eat you. We have tiny animals that will kill you and run away.
