The birdbath doesn’t just attract birds… We do occasionally get Wallabies in the neighbourhood and it was nice to capture one on the BirdCam! Linda @linlovesart, should do a month of Australian marsupials!

Our European settlers have much to answer for, calling a bird by a name which reminds them of “home”. Thankfully we have Currawongs even though some people still confuse them with Magpies, which in turn are not the same as the European Magpie. Phew… We love the Currawong name…

A regular guest, the Grey Butcherbird, often heard in the neighbourhood with its beautiful warbling song. They are often at the “bowl” and don’t fuss, but I prefer this phone camera shot from our lounge room…

We’ve gone from initial “Surprise!” to “Not that bloody Turkey again!” over the past few months. From terrorising the chicken over the road to stealing their food. Oh, to be a protected bird… [Brush Turkey]

For the last few years, a pair of Rainbow Lorikeets have been nesting in the tree behind the house. This year, I gave in and borrowed Craig’s camera…

A rare bird to be seen at the “Bowl”, but one which is famous for being heard is the Superb Lyrebird. Ours used to be expert at mimicking a ringing desk phone ( when we still had them). Search for “lyrebird calls” on YouTube and you’ll get many examples of them mimicking other birds and power tools(!).

You rarely see just one Noisy Miner and groups often dominate the birdbath. They are pretty cheeky and never sit still, jealous of other birds wanting a sip or a dip.

The tree behind our house. It’s not particularly beautiful, but we love it and so do the local birds.
A couple of years ago, we “inherited” a bird bath and found a place for it near the tree.
We added a “BirdCam” to keep an eye on the birds frequenting it. It automatically captures visitors, day and night.
The rest of this month’s images are mostly from this BirdCam…bb.coomans.com

Good morning Fedi friends. Well that was one warm night & one more hot day & night to go. It was 26c when I woke up just after 6am, opened up & turned off the aircon. It won’t be off for too long though as at 9am now it’s already hit 31c & will reach 43c as its last hurrah. So I’ll be shutting up again shortly & probably have the aircon fan on for a little while before I need it on cooling. I have my washing out & that won’t take long to dry & will do all my towels for the same reason after I’m showered & ready for my day.
I’ve found out what those little birds are that have been flitting around my garden at dawn. They’re New Holland Honeyeaters & very cute. There seems to be an awful lot of them around here atm.
Not going anywhere today, nor doing very much at all except for some general housework but that’s it for today really.
Have a great #Saturday everyone hope you all have a cool & safe day 🌻. #Weather #AussieSummer #Heatwave #AussieBirds #Garden
