The Crimson Rosella is a favourite of mine - apart from when the juveniles are snipping the stems of seedlings just to have fun. I've probably said this before - it saddens me greatly to see the live trade in these and other Australian parrots. They don't do well in aviaries and, in my view, should never be kept in captivity. A Common Bronzewing Pigeon causes low tide in the bird bath. The juvenile Magpies are still persistently chasing their parents about begging for food, although they're getting the knack of finding their own. A Frilled-neck Lizard basking on a tree-stump - my presence turned it into an attractive lizard statue... Nectar from the flowers of the Green Kangaroo Paw is a favourite of the Little Wattlebird. This male Common Brown Butterfly pawses in his pursuit of nectar.
On the next page (to spare the arachnophobes) two Australian Garden Orbweaver spiders take advantage of the front verandah fluoro with great success.
