Creatures in Digger's Yards.

[Digger...]

Had 21 species of avian in the yards to date and plenty of bugs too, though we need more bugs n' more birds.

New Holland Honey Eater.

Female Galah.

Nice set! Sometimes you don't even need to leave the yard to get great shots!

Planting as many plants as possible, had 3 La Niñas in a row and a wet summer this year and lost a lot of young plants to drowning.

Female Eastern Koel.

That's a beautiful raptor in that first one, and sort of a cannibal in the second one...

 

[denum]

Nice set. Great variety.

Not a raptor, a cuckoo. They migrate to here from Indonesia during spring, there awake way before the kookaburras are.

Found a big old Ibis in the backyard on new year's morning, he hasn't been back though. Was a cool find...

But I bet they don't sit in the old gum tree...

No gumtree in my yard & no kookaburras either.

Fighting over the golf ball, all the birds love playing with them.

There were 4 golf balls out there but i lobbed one over the house with the 8 iron and its hidden somewhere in the front garden atm.

All beautiful shots, No.1 & 2 if I had to choose.

This was the 1st feeder but the Sulfer Crested Cockys ate it. Had to make the pinecone swings shorter because one of the cocky's got his leg tangled in it.

They pull the pinecones up to chew on them.

 

[Digger...]

Jinxed myself with that last post, dopey cocky got his leg caught up in the shortened version, now it's really short. Only 1 pull to get the pinecone now.

I get visits every now and again from the King Parrots, (male).
