^ my big sister was looking out the window on a little bird in distress, thinking, Oh Diddums. When along came a crow, she's still thinking aw, diddums, and the crow stabs it clear through with its beak .

[tiger]

Yeah Coops. She is suddenly fascinated, with hawks/falcons/harriers etc.

Tiges those Noisy Miners will chase most small aboreal birds away>>>>fcuck 'em off and watch the treecreepers, fairy wrens and small robins come back.
Love the birds of prey.

Yeah they've mostly taken over the gums, cadagi, and big palms that are dotted around the front of my house. The butcher birds, maggies, kooka's aren't phased by them. But they just annoy the crap out of any other birds that come near. Except for the Galahs, lorikeets, rosella's etc, which will do anything for a free feed.

I've got scrubbier area's around the periphery of my property, which have all manner of little birds in abundance. I'll sneak around and see if I can get a few pics of them.

Oh sh1t!!! I've just realised I'm a bird nerd!

Shearer it is my shot but i have to admit i took it at the zoo.

But it looks like he just finished his meal. They must have trained the bird not too fly away because he was just cruising around minding his own biz.

[daryl]

some zoos like the Bronx, particularly there is easier with tropical birds, use climate control so the birds aren't interested in the human walkway areas

[stinky_wes]

How about a nice pair of boobys?

[lessormore]

Some South Coast stuff.

[oldman]

Nice stuff everyone.

Coops, Lambert, the crow and the falcon are beautiful, and mrs Tigress' shot of the hawk is sweet too.

Love the hunter birds, love the crow (what's not to love about 'em).

Miners, and mynahs, should be eradicated at every opportunity. Hate 'em.

[oldman]

Lessormore, you're frucking with my head with the half black and white, half colour shots.

Took me a few moments to work out that it was a place I visit more regularly these days.

Should have tried there last Thursday/Friday.

[quote="merkin"]Not much of a shot - I really should get my macro lens out - but I have a thing about bees. If bees died out the planet would go for about four days then start dying off. Any plantspotters identify the tree?

Bit hard to tell from that shot Merkin but looks a lot like a camellia.

[puurri]

Syzigium spp. ??

Microcitrus austalasica or now Citrus australasica.

Finger Lime. Seen black, purple, red, orange, yellow and green around the border region. Great in tequila

From memory local mob named Mount Tamborine after it.

[puurri]

FWIW I have desert lime and Backhousia citriodora amongst others. Great for cooking and esp in clear spirits and ice cream.

That sounds like a commercial crop Merks.
They get 30 bucks a kilo for them at Byron Market.

Wonderful scooped out and squeezed into an chilled article on a summers day.
What you doing with those things?
