    Just a few bird shots from the last couple of months - no rare birds - but always something interesting -

    Lots of pheasants round the property - the roosters are a bit flashy now -


    Lots of quail as well - the cock birds are always up on a fence post -


    Lots of Kingfisher on the property - seem to just move from one fence post to another -


    Either a Blackbird or Thrush always use this standard rose under the eaves each year - this Thrush did well -


    I see the Royal Spoonbills wading round the estuary down the road occasionally - but was surprised to see them up a large dead pine tree a month or so back -


    Parries are clever birds and can always find a safe place to nest - not sure there were any large holes up there -

    Just a wee Fantail chick with Mum - first time I have ever seen one
    I was about 3m away but the camera was very basic - Mum turned up and flew him away

    Possibly a Redpoll. An introduced finch.
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.
