Hi Every one you may not not be interested in this info.
I just found out that next week from the 21/10/2019
to the 27/10/2019 in National Bird Week.
On the internet they are encouraging people to get involved
in the Aussie Backyard bird count.
As we live in a life style village we do not have a lot of birds but we do have a lot of Blue wrens around our villas We also some wetland area down beyond our caravan storage area so hopefully I will get down there during the week and attempt to get some numbers.
regards Kevvie (Kev)

We've had a Storm Bird (Koel) move into our yard.
You know I love birds, but he hasn't shut up for the last 3 days.
Will try and get a photo.

No Koels here yet for the season. My neighbour a few doors down has a Moreton Bay Fig Tree and one usually sits in it and screams for hours.

Have notice some Dollar birds that have migrated down and we are also seeing a larger number of Channel Billed Cuckoos this season than previous years.

Eastern Rosellas in bird box under eaves of my house. Six hatched out of 7 eggs. Very happy.

Great to see Murray. They won't have much room when they get up a bit.

Ahhh little beauties. Still one of my favourite birds.

I put a parrot sized nesting box up on my shed a little while ago to try and attract the pale headed rosellas that we have around here.

I think I was a little late in the season though and it hasn’t attracted anything as yet.

I built a couple boxes three years ago hoping to attract some pale headed rosella. No results the first year, a swarm of bees took up residence for a while second year and after they decided it wasn't good enough & swarmed again I cleaned the wax out of the box, repainted it & a pair of rainbow lorikeets have moved in. I think they have hatched chicks buy the butcher birds have been annoying them & I think have managed to lay an egg in the box as I,m sure I saw a lorikeet feeding one from outside the box last week. I seem to spend a lot gazing at the nest & one bird sits at the entrance a lot & there is a lot of coming & going.

I have gone off to find myself. If I get back before I return,keep me here.
