Noisy Miner : 2 days before Winter . . .

This image is included in a gallery "birds in flight" curated by Sylvia Okkerse.

 

Late Autumn evening, this Noisy miner is unusually quiet, probably sensing Winter is just round the corner; it comes to a bald tree near me, rests for a few seconds before shuttling off.

 

Call me a shuttle-cork, a bullet, a torpedo,

Or whatever name you may,

Today is still Autumn,

And I'm only a cheeky bugger,

Who goes about my business

At my own pace...
