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.
Linking with
OUR WORLD
and
those fairy wrens are so adorable!
ReplyDeleteThanks 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.
ReplyDeleteSo much colour and life in your part of the world.
ReplyDeleteThe Wren is adorable. Fall colours can be as beautiful as any flower garden.
ReplyDeleteGreat collection of photos, Arija! The trees and the birds are wonderful. I have always loved your Gallahs and the little Blue Wren is a cutie. Have a happy week!
ReplyDeleteShe does camouflage well.
ReplyDeleteWell spotted, and wonderfully caught. Thank you. Lots. And yes, Autumn is starting to catch fire down this way as well. (One of my most favourite seasons).
ReplyDeleteHi there - take care out in the Wild Wood - its where the weasels live!
ReplyDeleteNice pictures of these splendid little bird.
I can offer a name for the type of plums - my wife calls them Victoria plums, but thats a bit of a wild stab!
Cheers and thanks for the link to WBW - Stewart M - Melbourne
