About ten birds turned up. Some jostled for position on the fence, others stayed in the gum-tree.

I think the cockatoo in the middle is one of our usual visitors, from the proprietary stance. Now,  I discourage too many birds hanging about, so I didn’t hesitate to get closer to the window. I shoved the camera through the gap in the netting and off they went. The  two in the gum-tree were hardly fazed.

It wasn’t long before our regular bird came back. I waited, Nokia in prime position pressed to the window pane.

But  my finger moved of course, pressing the button … and they were all off across the road this time. I love this one of the three in various stages of flight.

Mr R says it is about time we invested in a decent water container, instead of using a margarine tub. I reckon he is right.  😀
