More Birdlife

 

Yesterday i was cleaning up and painting our new/old kitchen buffet.  It was a rainy, dreary day so i was under cover ion the old  car port.  The birds were going nuts in the weather and really put on a great show.

I had little flocks of Red Browed Firetails dancing about just metres from me, eating the seeding couch grass.  Then i had a rainbow bee eater settle for a while on a fence across the yard, flying up into the air every now and again to catch an insect.  The black shouldered kite was also about again, sitting over near the dairy where i got the pictures of him previously.

A great day for bird watching.

Rainbow bee eater, they really do like to eat bees and other flying insects.
