We observed in total fascination the development of the babes and were lucky enough to be on hand to watch them take their first flights and eventually to leave home.

Wild Bird Wednesday
I would like to share with you all one of the really exciting events that happened to me as far as wild birds go. We had a pair of grey fantails build a nest in a camellia bush only a few metres from our back door. These cheeky little birds happily reared their little family without any fear of humans or dogs and were not fazed by the camera being poked in close to their nest - we were very careful not to upset or disturb the little ones or the parents once the eggs hatched out.
We observed in total fascination the development of the babes and were lucky enough to be on hand to watch them take their first flights and eventually to leave home.

ReplyDeletewhat a unique little nest for that larger bird!
ReplyDeleteThe adult birds are quite small - about the size of a Willie Wagtail to which they are closely related.
