Eye spy

Eye spy with my little eye, something hiding in a burrow.

No, don’t notice me. Maybe if I stay here really still I’ll be safe.

Or maybe not!

Aquilegia

I usually have trouble growing these, but this year I have this one plant with this beautiful flower.

Two Little Birds

I heard them before I saw them, two little birds safely high up in a gum tree. No wonder they’re called Noisy Miners.

What a cute little pair.

I wonder what they were saying to each other.

Yes they are really good friends

Bee-eaters in the air

I finally managed to capture a bee-eater in flight. These two got my attention. One would fly off, presumably to catch a bug, and then return to the other. Maybe it was feeding it because they seemed to share the food. After a while I realised that if I just waited and held my breath, with my finger on the button, eventually I might be able to catch one in flight.

Needless to say, I have many pics of a single bird, having been too slow or simply missing my chance. But I’m so pleased to have these.
