OUR WORLD and Wild Bird Wednesday - A Walk in the Wild Wood



Easter Sunday I had a chance to go for a walk in the 

Wild Wood

I raised a few Galahs as the bored Magpie looked on,


the first of the elm leaves had turned to gold


while the rest of the elms and these poplars refused to 
budge from their summer green.

Just a day later, while driving to town,
there autumn colours were ablaze everywhere.


Near the Wild Wood dam, there was a mad chirruppig
and fluttering of wings that even I could spot.


This little Hen Superb Blue Wren was heavily engaged on
feeding on things even smaller than the little ball of fluff that
she was.


Can you spot her here?


Here she is again, delightfully camouflaged against the 
rough bark of the fallen Nut Pine.

  2. Thanks for popping over so quickly. These little tines are Superb Blue Wrens, the Fairy Wrens we only get a few hundred miles further north, in the desert country.

    A walk in the woods sounds like a great way to celebrate Easter to me!
