The Earth is my mother, the World my home, where e're I go delights await me.
I took biology in college but don't know any of the birds. LOL. Great shots, by the way!
ReplyDeleteThat little thornbill is adorable! You have such a lovely variety of birds down there, Arija.
ReplyDeleteLovely images!
ReplyDeleteGreetings from London.
was für schöne Vögel!!1 Woher kommt denn das gute Deutsch??
ReplyDeleteLiebe grüße Barbara
Your blog is a delight. I love your flower photography especially. And the sweet bird, the last photo, does not need a name to be beautiful. Thanks so much for visiting my blog. I'll be back to this one often.
ReplyDeleteA really nice set of bird photos. You seem to have a great variety around your place.
ReplyDeleteHallo liebe Arija, thanks for visiting my blog and your kind comment!
ReplyDeleteOh your unidentified bird reminds me of a Kleiber, a nuthatch, sitta europaea :)
Maybe there exists also a sitta australicana ?
The galah has the same colours as my flower! And all your photos are so beautiful!
Have a pleasant week!
Love your little thornbill and the gala is a striking bird. Your garden is a lovely sight for autumn-adjusted eyes.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit to TN, USA and for leading me to your lovely blog.
Hello Arija !
ReplyDeleteYou are beautiful birds in Your photos...
I say like Lady Willow : the little is lovely...
sweet, sweet birds! they want to flutter off and are much more difficult to capture that it looks.. but you have done a marvelous job... love the shrike-thrush.. take a little drink and swallow it down.. what would a garden be without its precious birds.. they are the jewels in the crown...
ReplyDeleteI can't help you in your part of the world, but it's funny as to how they do resemble the birds here in the states...Thank you for your kind comments on my blog..I do try..
ReplyDeleteOh wow, these are magic birds! So unlike any at my feeder! It's as if you live over the rainbow.
ReplyDeleteGreat five birds species over the weekend.
ReplyDeleteHappy birding!
What beautiful birds! My neighbors visited Australia last year and came back with great bird photos.
ReplyDeletefirst unidentified bird looks like a white browed scrubwren. The short tail is distinctive. second bird looks like a Horsfield's Bronze-cuckoo or a Shining Bronze-Cuckoo. Too green for a thornbill, and thornbills don't have horizontal striations on the chest.
ReplyDeleteOh my... you have such pretty birds... they are beautiful and lovely to see... I wish I could help to identify.
ReplyDeleteBut they are wonderful to look at.

What a wonderful pretty image
ReplyDeleteGreat bird photos and thanks for leaving such nice comments on my blog.
ReplyDeleteThis are great captures...
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful birds. Nice photos. :)))
ReplyDeletei have never seen a bird with a pink beard like that...i am in love. :)
ReplyDeletethe unidentified one, i think that is me... who wants to be classified?
very beautiful here
These birds are so different from what we know here in the US...they are all wonderful! I thought the little unidentified one might be a pine siskin, but not sure if you have those there.
ReplyDeleteI have a photo of 2 galahs taken in February this year at my sister's home in Bungendore. They are so pretty. I love goldfinches and we have them here sometimes, either on the thistles or on the bird nuts. I'm afraid I can't help with the little thornbill! Lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteWow! What nice photos! Such color so vivid. I think it must be very nice to live in another country and get to know the flora and fauna. I wish I could help you out with the id of your little bird. It is a cutie, such a face! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMaria,
ReplyDeletethank you so much for your tip. With that I could narrow it down at least to a Neositta, a good step forward.
Barbara,
mein Deutsch kommt davos dass unsere Familie als Jux zu hause Deutsch spricht. Meine Muttersprache ist Lettisch.
Gwen,
you express my thoughts entirely.
Very cool birds. Australia is one of the places that I would really love to visit.
ReplyDeleteMy first thought for that second bird was a silver-eye but a scrubwren also seems possible. I would have loved to have seen it from a different angle but they rarely pose correctly for the camera. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful site - I will be returning.
Beautiful birds all. I know nothing of Australia's Birds but I think there is a Blogger from Australia called "Birds Anonymous." He might be able to help you out. Or, you might find someone on the Nature Blog Network. Also, the guys from 10,000 Birds Blog have an ID page. They go all over the globe to see and ID birds.
