The birdlife here is phenomenal. Mostly we just hear them, a huge repertoire of calls through the day coming from the forest trees, but some are more visible. These sweet birds look like they will be our main garden residents. They have been around since we moved in, feeding on grass seeds in the paddock, and just this week they have started taking seed from the hanging feeder we put up for the pet doves we inherited.
Red browed finches are very pretty to have flitting around; I can’t wait till we have established some shrubs for them to shelter in. We certainly have enough grass to feed a big colony, and if they eat a few insects too, so much the better.
