Bird of the Week: 12th November - grass

Well there were some spectatular photos last week! Thank you for sharing them!

 

This week's theme is grass - think about the birds you see on the grass or perhaps grass (or ground covers) providing food or nesting materials for birds...

Haha Holly, I posted my wrens living in the dense native grass. I will have to look for some other birds nowwink

Great shot M-L. I've not seen one of those before. Do you supposed I'd get them around here too?

Haven't been able to get too close to birds on the ground, but here's a few shots I've gotten anyway.

This one was at the Treatment Plant, but I have seen one where we saw the Reed-warbler, in those long grasses around the lake in Berwick.

Eastern Rosellas enjoy long grass with lots of weeds

A few from Sydney... unfortunately only saw the Nutmeg Mannikin once so the picture is the best I could get at the time.

Great photos still Sue. That's all we can do - is grab a quick shot at the time and hope to get better later. Hence my blurry image in my lot - it was the only time I've seen one of those rosellas in my garden on the grass.
