Wild bird

 

I loved the reflection of the clouds on the water in these early morning shots in the Hunter Valley. 



These funny banded birds didn't seem to mind me coming up close. Anyone know what they are?

  1. Gray crowned babbler or something like that?!

  2. Lydia, that looks like a wondrous birding escapade.

    I was to go yesterday, but came down with a cold. We were actually a part of the World Bird Count day/month happening. My gang spotted over 70 species, including hundreds of flamingoes! :)

    That could be a white-fronted chat, but I'm just guessing. I guess other birders could give you a better answer.

    Have a great week!

    Lovely reflections in the water, it's a beautiful place. I don't know the name of these sweet birds, but Anni knows a lot about birds, so she is probably right.
