Went for another walk, found some more birds.

Grey Butcherbird, male and female Superb Fairywrens and a Spotted Dove.

A Grey Butcherbird sitting on top of a light post, singing in the early morning.

Male Superb Fairywren in a bush. It has a bright blue head withe black mask that wraps around the back of its head, dark blue/black breast, off-white belly and brown wings. It has a long tail that is often held upright.

Female Superb Fairywren on a piece of bark that has fallen on a bush.

She is predominately brown, with an off-white chest and belly, and a rufous beak and mask that does not wrap around.

A Spotted Dove in a tree. It is predominantly brown, with a greyish head, and a black cape on the back of the neck which is flecked with white spots.

The photo shows a small dove with a gentle appearance. It has a mostly grey-brown plumage, with a pinkish-brown belly. The face is whitish with a black eye stripe. The bird's most distinctive feature is its grey and brown spots, which are scattered over its plumage, giving it a mottled appearance.

The local doves are working on a new Call and Response routine for their Spring Collection. *

Dove 1 (Belfast accent): Rococo is dead! Rococo is dead!
Dove 2 (scandalised): You’re kidding!

This goes on ad infinitum until Doves are rudely interrupted by shouted screeches from a flock of Cockatoos.

Lead Cockatoo (laughing): Feck Off!

Doves flee, their wingbeats sing like violins played by the wind.

*It’s like they’ve all been watching too much gritty Irish drama.

A Spotted Dove, covered in light greyish brown feathers bends its head down looking to the right. Its large dark eye is circled by a thin band of orange. Its back neck and shoulders are covered by a black shawl with bright white spots.

A Sulphur Crested Cockatoo looks to the left. Its body is covered in white feathers, one black eye surrounded by a thick white ring. Its sharp black beak contrasts with a very tall peeked feathered crown of long yellow feathers.

We have three doves who visit daily. The single fella gets bolshy when the couple are about. He's chilled out a bit lately, thinking he might have found a mate at last.

And then something proper special happened. The couple brought their kiddo to visit us!

This NQR miniature spotted dove dropped in for walnuts and chilled with us for an arvo. Kiddo was totally awkward and bit of an introvert and I hope he comes to visit often.
