Birdbath Visitors
Recently I have been enjoying watching little birds hopping around in the front garden, and using the birdbath:
These photos are of superb fairywrens, Malurus cyaneus. We used to call them "blue wrens", but at this time of year they aren't blue. The males will grow bright blue and black feathers for the breeding season in spring. At the moment all the birds are dull coloured, so I can't tell which are the males. They move very rapidly so are hard to photograph. They are vigorous bathers, though:
Can you see the water droplets flying in all directions?

Love to see the native birds.
We were inundated by male blue wrens at rose garden this morning, they are becoming game, hopped by our feet. It must give you a lot of pleasure watching them bathing.
I love watching our birds at the birdbath too. I didn't know what a kookaburra looks like. It was a favourite song of the kids in my special education class.
Testing the new system...
They are all delightful, big and small.
It's always lovely to see the various birds visit the birdbath
I love seeing the birds using the baths. It's great to see them splashing and the little drinks they have
