SAN BIRDS

Copyright Julie Vaux 2014  

With a wide variety of food available the grounds of the SAN hospital are a great environment for magpies lorikeets and other birds especially near the Fox Valley road bus stop where the birds love to check up and see if any bored humans are snacking while waiting for the next bus.

I don't have a proper zoom lens tho I did use the zoom function! I'm just lucky enuff that the Burras have gotten so used to me taking photos they will let me get fairly close to them. Next time I can afford to buy a camera I want one with a really powerful zoom!

Our Local Lapwings

Have you see our local lapwing couple? They hang around Hornsby Park the front of TAFE and oddly the top of Kennards' roof. You will also sometimes see them on the green verges at Pretoria Parade. They're quiet and shy birds that dont damge gardens so be gentle to them and don't let the dogs or toddlers chase them.

Have you seen them elsewhere ? Let me know!
