Bird Watching

I've seen a lot of birds around at the moment and I've got a couple of pretty good photos to match so ill put on some of the good ones for you to see

today there were two Tuis calling to each other (I only saw one) and a Bellbird sadly I couldn't photograph them as they were behind branches and they were just silhouettes

yesterday I got some photos of a song thrush


there's lots of fantails around and they seem to like hanging around our damson tree they are good to photograph because you can get quite close but they do move very fast.

there was a couple of sparrows around a day or two ago which were quite funny


and lots of wax eyes which hang around the acacia trees which is just starting to flower so hopefully I'll get some photos soon

there's always blackbirds


down at the beach there's been paradise ducks


and a shag :) which sat up on the bridge with big trucks driving past but when we got close under the bridge it flew away :P

  1. Great photos Mani! I had a friend in Waitaria Bay who liked birds a lot too! He even had his own aviary with quails and stuff. Do you have an aviary or the like?
