Now we’re settling at Selby we’re starting to see a range of birdlife and some animal life here. I’ve planted a lot of new roses and relocated two older ones from our old home.
In the first week we lived here I saw a bird I’d not seen before. The previous owners had left a couple of bird posters on the wall in the kitchen and I’ve found these invaluable for identifying birds. From that day I was on a mission to see this bird again – an Eastern Spinebill but it’s taken weeks before I was rewarded.
Late yesterday afternoon as I moved a potted azalea around to our front door I spied the bird in the grevillea by the front fence. I quickly went to get my camera and was thrilled to get several shots of the bird. Here are just a couple.
