Some birds in the yard

I finally found the frogmouths nest I drove under it every day And the grey butcherbird out the back door The first Juv White-headed Pigeon this year

What a great collection of species to have in your garden. Nice shots of them, too. Can't wait to see pics of the young when they hatch.

Cheers,

I wish I had an owl near our place. We only get mynas and sparrows... Though I have seen a baby butcherbird down at the local park in some woodland. Nice photo of the butcherbird on its nest. Good photos.

Great find - persistance paid off. We have some visit from time to time but I'd love to have them nest

BTW, tawny frogmouths are not owls; they belong to a different scientific order. They are nocturnal but eat insects

How are the rosellas doing? I'm still trying to work out mine - at least one male is defending the box

HI Birdgirl
Nothing here, I hear them in the area and in the yard but not at the nest something chased them I don't now what, When I check there was two broken eggs one dark and one you can see through.
Sorry for the late reply.
