Curiosity!
"Okay guys - what are we looking at? What's up there? What?Where?"
I couldn't resist this shot when the Magpie Lark landed on our window sill, looked in at all the little ornamental birds and saw them looking up in one direction. I was thrilled to see it look in that direction too. Not the sharpest shot I have ever taken, but the best I could do in the heat of the moment as it flew off just a second later!
The glass ornaments are all Australian Birds made by a glass artist from Tasmania called James Dodson. We have more than a dozen, most of which are in this shot. We bought the first one (the blue wren) on our honeymoon many years ago, and got the last one (the azure kingfisher) just last year. Sad to find the artist has now retired, but happy to have so many of his bright little creations. They are frequently given the once over by the real birds.
