There's a pile of sliced up banana on the table at the end of the garden...
On the left, there's a wattlebird...
Over on the right, there's a wattlebird...
Inbetween them, there's a rare giant black wattlebird....
That's what he says he is, he might look like a currawong, but he says he's really a rare giant black wattlebird.
They'll use any excuse to get to the banana, ha ha.
Come back a few paces and there's a grey and white bird who's looking at me, intently, and keeps saying "Don't forget the bread... Don't forget the bread... Don't forget the bread... "...
She's a fine specimen of a young female Nagpie... ha ha.
That old man bird who's usually here, isn't, but then, neither is anyone else.
There were half a dozen birds in for breakfast, I could count them on one hand, a small showing for that time of day.
I think they're more concerned with the strong wind gusts, and not being blown half way to the coast, today... ha ha.
The wattles have come into bloom in the last week or so, and today's strong winds are certainly helping them to spread their pollen.
That's great news for the wattles... and the people who sell hayfever remedies, ha ha.
