Two Views of Butcher Birds

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ This is one butcher bird colouring.
The butcher birds love sitting on the old flag pole near my verandah in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula.
They love some mince being thrown in the air and they catch it mid flight!

Small feathered critter
Darting and diving for food
Like a happy dance
