Ah that's my eye sight letting me down again! Yep just a grey blur and a shape, logical thought for me was a pigeon. Our pigeons are opportunists around water and food bowls.
In the Kimberley, we call apostle birds babblers, or by their not so nice name "poofta" birds due to their habit of all piling in on top of each other in the roosting nest. (Not very politically correct, I know). They have such hilarious antics. They are very much at home around humans. Ours hop and bop along our verandahs.
Birds currently in our garden in the wet season:-
Sacred kingfishers
Butcherbirds
Mudlarks (Pee Wees)
Coucal Pheasants (clumsy bird)
Tawny Frogmouths
Channelbilled Cuckoo
Bluewinged Kookaburras
Wrens (splendid, redbacked and variegated)
Whitegaped Honeyeaters
Grey Shrike Thrushes (a pair are nesting in the shed)
Little Brown Quail (counted 16 the other morning)
Redwing Parrots (also known as Crimson Wing Parrots)
Friarbirds
Spangled Drongos
Dollarbirds
Peaceful Doves
Bar Shouldered Doves
Crested Pigeons
Rainbow Lorikeets
Rainbow Bee Eaters
Yellow Throated Minerbirds
Grey Crowned Babblers
And 4 very tame Guineafowl
That's our list of observed birds in our 'Wet Season' garden. Some are nesting, some are only visiting. They all provide much enjoyment.
