Oh come on now, you are just jealous of their mesmerizing yellow eyes.

Across the pond from you, the bigger menace are European Starlings for us.

What pond, Lake Michigan?

Leave our Starlings out of this That said we've had about 100 in the garden this week, now the young have fledged. Noisy gits.

Superb Fairy Wren.

I forgot how crazy these things are in the tight shrubbery. It feels like they give you milliseconds!

Awesome wee bird Clint. Not much different to our Wrens, who also flit around like a maniac, but we can get them perched singing too. Here's a pic

Such adorable birds! Little 2" spheres!

Eastern Yellow Robin.

They hang around near this really dark small stream at a rainforest in Wollongong. I think in summer I was having to get 1/125 shutter speed at ISO8000. Yesterday was so dark in there being winter! But I was determined...

A couple of recent birds - the female sparrowhawk has visited our garden a couple of times in the last few days. It was about 10 feet from the kitchen window and the shot was taken through the window.

the spotted flycatcher was on a walk near our new house.
