A while back, I noticed that the fairy wrens were really active in my garden. I would see them everywhere. They would dance around me and didn't seem too perturbed about my presence or my taking photos. But recently, I have not seen them at all… except maybe from afar (high in the trees). I know that they are around, I can hear them and see them flitting about in the skies, but they have not stopped to say hello in recent weeks.

It is all a bit disappointing….

At the moment, the honey eaters seem to have taken over the garden.

COME BACK fairy wrens… please!

This little guy was hiding in the trees today.

I’ve seen a number of honey eaters lately and he was a little more rounded and fluffy, compared to some of his other fine feathered friends.

I’ve been enjoying my time spent listening and watching for the local bird life. There is such therapy in enjoying the quiet and looking to the trees and skies. To my neighbours it may look strange as they see standing still amongst the foliage waiting for the perfect moment.
