Birds....Long post

A few pics of the bird life that came to visit today.

I bet I looked a right clown taking these, I was

laying on the floor inside, while half hanging out the

door snapping away at these colourful birds,

they kept getting startled when I stood up

and would fly away, ha ha, I tricked them.

First a King parrot, I thought he was on top of the

pecking order, boy was I wrong,

then I thought maybe it was Maggie here, but

it sort of sat back and waited it's turn,

these beautiful little Rainbow Lorikeets ruled

the feed box, they would not let anything

else near it.

Love this one, pity about the chain covering his face.

These parrots come by the dozen, granny brain

here, I cant remember what they are.

The ones with all the green are babies,

the bright red ones are adults.

I played with the settings while they were bossing

each other around, I turned onto shutter mode

and got this one in flight.

I had the camera resting on the step and managed

not to shake.

Yesterday while I was at work Mark

noticed a bird we had not seen before, so

I kept an eye out for it this morning,

we thought it must be a pigeon of some sort,

but after a google search we think it is

a Brown Cuckoo Dove.

He has a nice name don't you think?

This is the only decent pic I managed to get

of the white headed pigeon, he is behind

the Brown Dove, they usually

manage to come and chase everything

else away, the other birds are learning to be bossy

and stand their ground now.

And finally 2 Layouts.

I am going to sub them and get rejected for sure,

so I will put them here now,

this one of the Crazy girls fell

together so easily, it was fun to do.

I am really happy with how it looks.

And miss T riding the waves. Not real

sure about this one, its not right but I

am not sure why.

I really need to do some scrap supply shopping,

I am fast running out of stuff to use.

Though I am finding papers I had forgotten about.

**************************

I have a sick Sheri at the moment,

she has the sniffles, hope it doesn't

turn into anything serious.

She said one of the boys at school had

swine flu, and his mum is a teacher and

she still came to school, probably spread it

around to everyone.

Did you pop over to Tara's blog and check

out our little man. He is so much like

Craig at the that age it is scary.

Ok, I have written a newsletter that tells

you nothing, so I had better kick myself off here.

If I have not commented on your blog, it

is because I am lazy, not because I have not

been looking. Thanks for stopping by.
