• A sparrow has little accident

    Updated: 2010-09-01 14:20:35
    This morning my attention was caught by a large bang on our kitchen window. I immediately went outside with my camera to see what had caused the noise. On a table on the veranda was a female House Sparrow looking very sad indeed, but still breathing. I only took the one photo and backed off [...]

  • Fairy Martins

    Updated: 2010-08-23 09:40:47
    While outside in the garden earlier today my attention was suddenly attracted by a small group of swallow like birds flying high above the house. I didn’t have time to grab the binoculars or the camera, so I can’t be sure what they were. I’m guessing that they were either Fairy Martins or Tree Martins. [...]

  • Silver Gull eating a rabbit

    Updated: 2010-08-15 23:30:32
    Silver Gulls are the most common species of gull in Australia. They are found in all coastal regions around Australia as well as far inland near to water courses and lakes. Here in my home town of Murray Bridge in South Australia they are quite common along the River Murray which is about 4 kilometres [...]

  • Magpie Larks nesting

    Updated: 2010-08-14 23:30:50
    Magpie Larks are a breeding resident bird in our garden. We see them every day, the strident calls filling the air on many occasions throughout the day. Although the call is sharp and loud it is melodious and not at all annoying – unless the bird is only metres away. Throughout the day they flutter [...]

  • A galah having a bad feather day

    Updated: 2010-08-14 01:00:29
    We had a typical winter’s day here in Murray Bridge South Australia today: cold, scudding showers and periods of rain and blustery winds. Late afternoon saw a lessening of the showers and the sun chose to emerge for a while. The wind was still quite strong in gusts. I was on my way to photograph [...]

  • Pelicans overhead

    Updated: 2010-08-11 00:34:22
    We don’t get all that many Australian Pelicans in our garden. In fact, we’ve only ever had pelicans flying overhead on a handful of occasions over the last 25 years or so, despite living only about 5km from the River Murray where they are quite common. Yesterday my wife noticed two flying overhead but didn’t [...]

    I was sitting outside in the sunshine the other day. I was taking advantage of a few hours of sunshine in an otherwise fairly bleak winter here. While I was reading my attention was caught by the call of a Mistletoebird in one of the trees in our garden. It brought to mind the fact [...]

  • Lunch time visitor: Eastern Rosella

    Updated: 2010-08-07 07:11:38
    While we were having lunch today I noticed a beautiful Eastern Rosella feeding on some flowers in our garden. I wasn’t quick enough to get a new photograph, so I’ve used one I took some months ago. This bird has been hanging out with our resident Ringneck Parrots. It is not a species normally found [...]
