Re: Garden Bird Pictures
For the first time ever I was able to watch one being active at night.
I kinda like them. Rather pretty and very mysterious when they are just standing
and not moving. I always feel watch by them and think they are busy plotting
something against me.
Lovely capture!

God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.
Re: Garden Bird Pictures
Yeah , they stand still , then suddenly dart forward , standing still again as if contemplating where to go next

Re: Garden Bird Pictures
They stand totally still... they think they are invisible when they stand still
Not yet Flutts. I think our cat would discourage them
They did nest just over the road behind the school cricket nets last year - here's one of them protecting the nest - a genuine Angry Bird!

It shows that they are alive, more or less
