Appropriately the first posts catching up after our return from Tassie and into the new year of 2024 are presented on 29 February 😊. I shall add another two posts on this once in four year day so I can be "caught up".
In this first up post are some shots from around our garden again featuring the way a range of birds are opportunistic feeders and willing to share, provided a pecking order is observed! The first series of photos below show scaly-breasted lorikeets, rainbow lorikeets, a figbird and a Lewin's honeyeater enjoying the spoils of fallen avocados on our driveway.

Once the Lewin's honeyeater had its fill I managed to track it to a perch in the bottlebrush near the carport. This photo offers a nice sense of the way they can easily blend in among the branches and seed pods that develop once the flowers are spent. The purple flowers of a nearby double hibiscus and green leaves of various shrubs provide a nice contrasting bokeh too.
The final series of photos in this post are of a Lewin's honeyeater and a little wattlebird sharing time in the front birdbath, then the little wattlebird having it all to itself, the final photo dripping after a good dunking.
