Silvereye
Mar 19, 2010 Birds
This bird, the Silvereye, seem to hang around with the Superb Wrens and Red Browed Firetails. The minor birds chase them off I think. Each set have their time in our fig tree, and the large birds also come from time to time.
This Silver Eye is in a berry tree in the back.

Noisy Minah watching me

This Noisy Miner was watching me while I was waiting at the train station to pick up my husband one evening. By the way, I ID most of my birds via the Birds in the Backyard website – very useful!

Flame Robin at Karkarook Park
May 19, 2009 Birds, Karkarook Park, Victoria
As I wandered around with camera in hand a couple with 3 dogs came towards me. The lady asked if I was taking pictures of pretty birds and when I said ‘yes’ she pointed back along the path they’d travelled and told me of a bird with a bright red chest and black back. So I went to have a look and wasn’t disappointed. The following pictures are of a Flame Robin who was quite happy to pose for me on top of several posts and tree trunks.
