Birds pt 1

New Holland Honeyeater feeding on a Grevillea bush.

Side profile of a Wedgetailed Eagle. This is the same bird featured in a previous post.

A cheeky little Singing Honeyeater swinging from a branch of my Buddleia bush.

Crested Pigeons; these are usually found quite a way inland from where I live so I was rather surprised to be walking out to my car one morning on the way to work and find a whole group (at least seven) waddling up my street cooing and chattering to each other like a bunch of elderly tourists. Must have been a dry season inland for them to venture so far from home.

A Pink and Grey Galah watches me warily from a tree in the neighbor's yard. I liked the way that the dark green leaves formed a frame for the bird's bright colors. Galah's are not native to my area and have become a real pest.

Bronzewing Pigeon. I have a bit of a soft spot for these comical little birds.

Who you looking at?

This was the photos chosen by Australian Geographic magazine for publication on their website. It was part of their regular reader-submissions competition. Even though I only go my name published (no prizes), I was rapped to get chosen and for it to get such prominence.

If your interested then here's the link to the website http://www.australiangeographic.com.au/journal/new-reader-photo-gallery-aussie-animals.html
