sandeyeBlack eyes and baby birds.
January 25th 2008 19:08
I am hoping to manage to fit in a walk this coming weekend, and will be sure to charge my camera batteries ahead of time so as to be able to snap any feathered friends en route. I have hardly been anywhere this month so far, as I have been flat out trying to make a living from my writing & publishing and also set up as a childcare service - whilst life has decided to run at light speed all around me. I shall definitely hang out the park or beach, if not take a longer hike. I might try Corrimal again, hopefully I will then get some good shots of the Fairy-wrens and other coastal birds to share in my blog next week.
In the meantime, we now have a turtle dove with a black eye visiting our yard. The photos I took did not come out very clearly though, so I will spare you some out of focus blurs and have you take my word that on one side, the fellow has a black ring about his eye.
I have also been entertained by a baby Myna bird. It was chittering away from the top of the carport roof. It was not scared of me when I peeped through the curtains to look at it. Some of its antics included sticking its head right over the edge and peering downwards, trying to eat the edge of the roof, chewing on a rusty nail, and snapping at a feather that floated past.
