A day later, perfect conditions again, and more glorious views of chattering groups of YFHEs

[Holly Parsons @backyardbirdo]

Isn’t it great when right place and right time is in your own backyard!
Just watched around 200 yellow-faced honeyeaters (?) in small groups on their migration north. Wonder how many others looked up?

[Holly Parsons @backyardbirdo]

Farewell my lovely friends, visit again soon

[Holly Parsons @backyardbirdo]

I’ve got some return visitors that dropped in while I was doing school drop off. What a sight to return home to 💛 🖤

My heart rate can’t take these close games #werisetogether #NBL24

@actualeyez @FeathersOz These are a couple of Coastal Banksias - locally native to my area

[Holly Parsons @backyardbirdo]

We interrupt my long service leave hiatus to report there is a pair of yellow-tailed black-cockatoos in the garden! 6 years after planting tubestock - it’s paid off!
WhatsApp’ing with husband who is out there with them and can’t come in in case he scares them off.

[Holly Parsons @backyardbirdo]

@MegJobson1 Doesn’t it feel like such a privilege! I really hope ours become regulars too

[Holly Parsons @backyardbirdo]

@KillerQuoll So close yet so far!!!

[Holly Parsons @backyardbirdo]

@birdemergency Same!

[Holly Parsons @backyardbirdo]

@KillerQuoll They are in the neighbourhood but haven’t visited us yet

[Holly Parsons @backyardbirdo]

@paperbark_ What a way to end the week! They fed happily for close to an hour.

Our garden bird list is very average. This pair has visited 3 times now (in the last 6 weeks or so) and are the standout by far.
