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.

I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

That's cool about the mince..he looks like he's not quite ready to take off- Nice
It's so hard to sneak up on the birds, isn't it? Especially if they dart and dive.
You have such beautiful things surrounding your home from nature to furnishings. This bird is no different. Have a great night.
