I sent this from my phone earlier – the quality is terrible! It was part of a smart sequence and I thought I had saved the individual image. Oh well.

On my fence, and in my face …

Yesterday.

(Nokia Lumia 530 WP, cropped, optimized.)

galahs

Mr R tells me there is a flock of galahs on the front fence so I grab the Nokia.

The one on the far right eyes me and launches towards the window.

It must be able to see a reflection.

It might see a reflection.

I wonder if this is the same bird who has done this before.

Mr R says it’s trying to kill me. Hitchcock’s ‘Birds’ springs to mind, as it often does! Then they all fly away.

Have a good day.  🙂

The bees love my Cistus …

I love the Cistus shrub, too. It’s also called a sun rose or a rock rose, probably because the flowers close at night, slowly unfurling as the sun rises. My plant is a lowish, spreading type. I love the crinkled papery look of the petals. I hope you enjoy seeing the bees as much as I do.
