These are my treasures today. Whether you like vibrant colour or black and white they're all lovely. Some feathered friends who like to visit us when they're hungry, have been driven off course by storms or just need a holiday from their usual haunts! Top is a cheeky Rainbow Lorikeet then left to right, top to bottom in the second set are a Royal Spoonbill, Australian Magpie, Black Necked Crane (more commonly known by it's indigenous name in Oz - which is Jabiru), Little Cormorant and a group of Straw-necked Ibis (Ibises?). In the bottom pic the only only one who doesn't swim is the Magpie.
robyn---love your birds!!!
ReplyDeleteA couple of birds I haven't seen here in WA, nor in NZ; ie, the Rainbow Lorikeet, and the Black neck crane.
ReplyDeleteAt Otago Heads, near Dunedin, NZ, there is a colony of Royal Albatross. They are huge! To stand and watch them is a sight to behold. They come there to breed each year.
lovely photos Robyn
