MY NEW PASSION - BIRDING

Having recently seen the movie "The Big Year" starring 

Jack Black, Steve Martin & Owen Wilson

I am coming out of the closet re my love of birds!

I have always loved birds, skidded to a halt in traffic

to photograph a bird or duck.....stopped the car to let ducks cross

and all the silly things loving birds entail.

I never knew others felt like me, of course as Id never been exposed to 

another bird lover.....Hen hates birds, his father hated birds......so I kept

it quiet.......till now. That movie changed everything.

I want to travel and do a "Big Year". I want to go Birding, finding new species

to photograph myself, not just see in books!

I did my first birding expedition last weekend in my neighborhood.....39 species....

I was pretty impressed, ok nothing compared to Lynne Barber or the guys in the

movie, but 39 in one day was impressive, I never realised that so many birds

were nesting, or hunting in my neck of suburbia.....

my list includes:

~Red tailed black cockatoo~

~common wood duck and ducklings~

( walking along the side of the highway....eeeek, i followed them till they

got to the lake near my house safely.)

~Galah - flock~

~Suplhur crested cockatoo x 4~

~Red Wattle bird~

~Juvenile Pacific Koel~

 ( raised by red wattle bird above)~

~green satin bower bird~

( - in my palm tree!)

 ~Pied Currawong~

~Australian Laughing Kookaburra x 5~

~Australian Magpie~

~Australian Raven - flock~

~Australian common blackbird~

 ~Red Whiskered Bul Bul~

(with young)

~Magpie Lark~

~Black faced Cuckoo Shrike~

I am loving this new found freedom, and have ordered my new Binoc's

and journal to record my visuals.

Ah to be filthy rich and travel the world birding.
