Wild Bird Wednesday - Snake Time and Kookaburras

The temperatures are rising so watch out for snakes!

Time for boots, loose trousers and Kookaburras.

So lucky they like snakes for lunch.

I was lucky to have a pair serenade me right in front of my 

bedroom door. Even so, I was not quick enough to capture both.

Don't you just love the monk's cap to cover his bald spot?

I'll be posting birds occasionally when they visit me since I have

been tied by the heels and am unable to visit them for a while yet.

MY WORLD ~ 17 Trip to Queensland, 2nd Day

All photos can be enlarged by clicking on them.

Along the Darling river

deep in its weary bed

the goats were dancing under trees

as busily as buzzing bees

high upon their tippy toes

stripping leaf and twig of those

trees still green upon the bank

Greedy for the other's leaf

they rolled their eyes in disbelief

and glancing blows with horn and head

fought for the right to be first fed

We hapless humans munching lunch

enjoyed the sight while they

with honour satisfied

went on their merry way.

These little flowers gave us cheer

though bumpy was our road and drear

until from sealed road once again

spied Warrumbungles far away

but those await another day!
