Sunday in the Garden

Lots of gardening at the weekend but I was constantly distracted by the birdlife.

Hey Lefti... must be tough to get that kind of distraction :)
Lovely shots of lovely birds , can't even decide which would be my favourite, they are all very pretty.

Very nice garden visitors, lefti. I'm willing to volunteer to help with the weeding if you can guarantee these visitors. ;-) I love the Blue-winged.

Cheers,

Nice garden you got going there lefti, especially love the pardalote! How close did you get to him?

Nice photos Lefti, especially love the Pardalote. It seems to be looking right at you.

I started about 6 metres from the pardolote and as he got used to the lens pointing at him I gradually move to within 3 metres. At one point he looked like he was going to nod off he was so relaxed.

What a great collection of birds. The first looks gorgeous surrounded by flowers. I'm guessing birdie's favourite would be the YTBC - mine too - you've got a great flight photo

simply beautiful...i for one am glad you got distracted from your gardening...don't worry the weeds will still be waiting for you next weekend...or the weekend after. My favourite is the pardolote, striking plumage, never seen one myself.Thanks for sharing.

Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best
