I've always wondered how people got great photos of these little birds and I think I found out (if only i had a better camera). I've found this beautiful street with lots of little shrubs out the front so the little birds such as the bulbuls, wrens and new holland honeyeaters love it! That's right, I found where our resident New Hollanders hang out :)
I'm hoping (on a sunnier day with a blue sky) to get some good photos of New Holland Honeyeaters and Red Whiskered Bulbuls :)
Top shots Amateur .... can't imagine a street where such birds actually frequent the gardens of real houses!!! How wonderful...what suburb and which city is that in?
Well done that's for sure

Yes, we have these at our home too but they're not easy to get still for the camera at any time. Well done.

Bulbuls,I would love to see photos of them, i haven't seen one since i was a boy,a long long time ago
cheers sparrow
Well done Amateur. They are really good photos. My Superb Wrens are now so busy feeding their babies.
Birdie, the street is in Quakers Hill or maybe Acacia Gardens, and is beautiful. It's like a small bird haven with literally every house having lots of shrubs and hedges for the little birds to duck in and out of!
Sparrow I'll try my best to get a good shot of a bulbul but I've been at it for around a year now and haven't come up with anything decent.
Hope your wrens raise a successful family Scarlet :)
And thanks Kathie I was amazed when he kept on popping out of bush onto a convenient branch without flying away!
I'll drop back down their tomorrow and I'll se what i can come up with :)
Awesome shots Amateur! The wrens are great! :')
Tweety, Queensland! :)
Quakers Hill, that's in Brissy? Excuse the ignorance. Great Shots, and good to see the bushes pruned too! What plant is that Amateur? Perthwings, I like the way of your thinking and I've often thought the same. I'd imagine that superb fairy wrens, magpies, new-holland honeyeaters, noisy miners, willie wag-tails, sulphur-crested- to name a few, are some of the native birds that have benefited from white settlement. I once heard that a game of cricket in the 1800s was stopped because a flock of galahs flew over- was supposedly a rare occurrence back then.
Oxalis is not my friend
Great shots Amateur, be careful you don't get reported for stalking tho.... could easily be misconstrued... a young man taking lots of pictures of a house and garden:)
Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best
