Things have been very gloomy in Melbourne in recent weeks with heavy cloud and daily showers. Today however there was some colour to be enjoyed at the in-laws' bird-feeder.
 |
| Rainbow lorikeet (Trichoglossus heamatodus), Mitcham |
 |
| What was that? Did you see something Reg? I was watching some grazing Wood ducks one day & noticed one was looking at the sky in this manner - it had spotted a distant raptor! |
 |
| Naah, it was nothin' |
 |
| Rainbows on Rainbows - I'd not noticed the upper leg colouring before. |
 |
| Often known as a Mudlark in Victoria, the Magpie-lark makes it's nest on a horizontal limb with plant matter held together by mud |
 |
| Magpie-lark (Grallina cyanoleuca) Male |
 |
| Also well known by the name Peewee (or Murray Magpie apparently if you're a Crow eater) |
 |
| This Noisy miner (Manorina melanocephala) wondered if it was missing out |
