Butcher Bird Waits

Little butcher bird on my verandah rail hoping to be fed!

Tiny character
Enjoys a garden visit
Like a feathered friend

Protective

Spring is breeding season! And territorial swallows do not like their nest space being invaded.
That space includes the skies around too!
Here, a little swallow has just swooped a butcher bird on our flag pole!

Protective swallows
Guarding their worlds with passion
Darting and swooping

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!

Winged Wink of Energy

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ The butcher bird is a regular visitor to my garden in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula.
This tiny bird loves to quickly dive and dart.
If we throw tiny pieces of mince into the air, he swoops on them usually before the food has time to begin to fall.
He seems to have wonderful eyesight.
