Wild Bird Wednesday & Nature Notes - Starlings Antics


Just uploaded these from a while ago and they were a pest 
to get onto the blog, a gremlin in the programme . . .

a starling family dropped in to feed their youngsters

"hey mom, I'm hungry!"


"you look big enough to fend for yourself kid"


"aw c'mon mom"


"see, you can do it!"


"don't walk away!!"

note the little yellow-dumped hornbill in the corner


"no mom, come back!"


"please mom don't walk away, dad can take care of the other four "


Did you see the wealth of green apples scattered under the tree 
in the first few shots?
That's what happens when the parrots come to call, they strip the 
trees before they or anyone else can reap any benefit.

My Weekend of Birds

Goldfinch, Carduelis carduelis



Not yet identified



Galah, Eolophus roseiccapillua drinking at our dam



Take a sip, and swallow it down



One of my favourite songsters, the Grey
Shrike-Thrush, Colluricincla harmonica



I have narrowed this little darling to a Sittella
either Black-Capped Sittella, Neositta pileata
or Striated Sittella, Neositta chrysoptera


The same little bird in the shade camouflaged
as a bluebird




If anyone can help with identification , I would
be most grateful.
