Cloudy Skies Make Greener Grass

The birds and wildlife have had a wonderful summer this year, inf act the best in over a decade.  New wildgrasses have sprung up covering the hillsides due to the extended rains and are providing plenty of food and shelter this season in contrast to years of dry, burnt summers.   Check out the pics below to see what they have been doing.

Making New friends - at the Lilypot

Monty magpie and Loki lorikeet know each other quite well.  They share the gum trees in the bush.  Keep any eye out for predators in the valley and when all is well, they catch up on all the neighbourhood gossip while larking out on the mulberry tree.

Before long, Lori decided it was time to inspect Monty's favourite spa and thirst quencher.  A surprised Monty decided to let go of his initial territorial instincts and join his friend instead.

Take a look at the slideshow below for a peek at the birds.

Visits To The Magpies Nests Makes The Kookaburras Talk

The birds love us visiting their patch to look at their nests and catch a glimpse of their chicks.  Most of the time, their nests are too high up in the trees for us to get a look inside.  But once the babes are bigger and peer over the edge, we can introduce ourselves.  Sometimes the chicks even call us and stand up to show themselves.  Maggie and Vicky have always proudly shown us their nests and babes.  Larry and Harrie, the grey butcherbirds too.
