Beautiful birds with some great photos

Fantastic once again, nan! I'm sure there are some birds in there that I haven't seen before on this thread.
Or at least such a long time ago that I can't remember

You might have been dead tired after 6 hours,
but this must have been a great outing with so many different things to see and to photograph!

You might have told us before: When you go to your pond, do you sit in a hide and wait for all the birdies
and other critters to come by or are you walking around to find them?

What a variety, Nan

I did not even know that we have all these birds in our country. I am very surprised to see a red-backed shrike

Lots of cuckoo pics

what are Goelands?

Lucky to have so many cuckoos.

Nice to see our Redbacked Shrike in your neck of the woods! $\O$

Why is it your shrike? It might be ours and we only lend it to you

most of time I walk... slowly and time to time stand (where the Cuckoos were and in front of little nest)
I have to search... with the ears too... but I can't remember all the songs

and now there is already a lot of leaves $0*\$
not a lot of seats... even nothing

to put my buttocks

I stay in the little hide at the arrival, depend of what there is and when I return to the car (this time were Heron, Coot, Warbler and the flying Ducks)
for the Shrike, it was one of the last birds... I took place against a pole

there is two places to seat on a big "sleeping" tree... but with the sun... beware of the snakes

but no snake till now

thank you Liz and Flutts

the Shrike is just coming back from.... Africa

the Cuckoos are here since 2 weeks... I heard and heard... since more than... xxxxx years like everybody

sorry Goéland... Gull $0*\$
they chase the little Coots...

Liz is MY Shrike... because I found him (I think is a male)
