Killdeers are kind of cool looking birds, but they sure can make a lot of noise. This one no exception. Killdeers get their name from their call which sounds like "kill-DEER, kill-DEER". They've also been called "noisy plover" which also seems fitting.
Who knows what these are, with a hint in the title?
Aged and abandoned...
Have a great week everyone!

AKA: Leatherhead.
Another of Australia’s prehistoric looking birds! Easy to see the dinosaur lineage with that bald head and casque on the beak!
But also rather handsome with the neck plumage forming an eye catching ruff below the chin.
The omnivorous Noisy Friarbird eats nectar, fruit, insects and other invertebrates and sometimes eggs or baby birds. They spend most of their time feeding on nectar high up in trees, only coming down to the ground occasionally to feed on insects. Often feed in noisy flocks, usually excluding smaller birds, found along with other honeyeaters such as the Red and Little Wattlebird.
Please, no invitations to award/forced comment groups or to those with large/animated comment codes.
Medium-sized songbird with predominantly dark plumage, a very short crest, and crimson bill and legs. Long tail and bill impart an elongated appearance. Head color varies considerably across distribution, ranging from white to dark gray to black. Often travels in large flocks, which move noisily between fruiting trees. Most commonly found in broadleaf evergreen and mixed deciduous forests but also regularly visits gardens and lowland forests. Extremely noisy, with a huge repertoire, emitting various squeaks, meows, chatters, whistles, and more. (eBird)

I love these bulbuls! Although we saw or heard them several times around Chiang Mai, this is the one and only photo that I got of them. I am grateful that they picked such a nicely lit spot for a quick rest before moving on.

The noisy miner is a bird in the honeyeater family and endemic to eastern and southeastern Australia. Noisy miners are gregarious and territorial; they forage, bathe, roost, breed and defend territory communally, forming colonies that can contain several hundred birds. Each bird has an 'activity space', and birds with overlapping activity spaces form associations called 'coteries', which are the most stable units within the colony. The birds also form temporary flocks called 'coalitions' for specific activities, such as mobbing a predator. Group cohesion is facilitated by vocalisations, and through ritualised displays, which have been categorised as flight displays, postural displays, and facial displays. The Noisy miner is a notably aggressive bird, so that chasing, pecking, fighting, scolding, and mobbing occur throughout the day, targeted at both intruders and colony members.
I found his bird at a pub beer garden where the picking were easy, it wasn't the least bit aggressive but it did refuse to buy me a drink, even after we shared me lunch together.
We went for a drive and stopped off at the Bowral cemetery. We went for a wander looking at the gravestones, trees, flowers and birds. We discovered a noisy miner nest with a pair of adults working hard with three hungry babies to feed. It was a very well constructed nest.
The sedge warbler is a small, quite plump, warbler with a striking broad creamy stripe above its eye and greyish brown legs. It is brown above with blackish streaks and creamy white underneath.
It is a summer visitor, and winters in Africa, south of the Sahara Desert. Its song is a noisy, rambling warble compared to the more rhythmic song of the reed warbler.

Because they are so common and often considered to be a nuisance, I noticed that I had not posted a photograph of a Canada Goose for many months. When you take the time to look at them, they have beautiful intricate feather patterns on the wings.

My Noisy Friend
Even though they are extremely loud at this time of year, I enjoy having a few of these beautiful birds living in my yard.

A good sized group of American Robins were moving between the ground and the branches.This one posed with a nicer background than most.
Half of the pair that nested by my house last year. This fellow is raucously greeting the first sunny morning in a long while. I have never minded the call of crows or rooks. I was pleased to see and hear his return.
Noisy backyard bully
I really enjoy having these beautiful birds in backyard in Chester County, PA, even though they are very noisy and often monopolize the feeder.

Manorina melanocephala with 'Robyn Gordon' grevillea cultivar, both native to Australia. In my Gold Coast garden.
in a winter plumage. A flock of noisy Black-headed gulls (Chroicocephalus ridibundus) landed on the river when a passer-by started feeding resident swans. They didn’t stay for long though.
In the past the scientific name of this species was Larus ridibundus. Larus in Latin ‘larus’ or in Ancient Greek ‘laros’ apparently meaning “gull” or “seabird”. The epithet ‘ridibundus’ means in Latin “laughing lot” referring to its characteristic call resembling laugh, and a noisy behaviour of the flock. 20 years ago, all black-headed species moved to a separate genus ”Chroicocephalus”. This name is an amalgamation of two Ancient Greek words ‘khroizo’, “to colour", and ‘kephale’, "head”, i.e. ‘colour-headed’ – makes more sense… in summer, when they are in a breeding plumage. In winter months their heads mainly white with few dark streaks and spots. The river Avon’s riverside, Bath, BANES, England UK.
Thank you all very much for your visit, favours and comments, much appreciated.
Noisy Miner (Manorina melanocephala) juvenile
The Noisy Miners at the football ground near Daniel and Sarah's school have had some chicks. This one was squawking for Mum or Dad to bring some food. Unfortunately I missed getting a shot of one of the parents feeding it.
Every day at the billabong ends with a huge party of birdlife.
One last burst of life as night falls, so noisy it's deafening, and frantically busy.
Massive numbers of these rainbow lorikeets, as well as the big white sulfur-crested cockatoos, and the pink and grey galahs, all chattering, screeching, swooping and zooming about, and having their last feed, way up high in the surrounding tree tops, before finally choosing which tree to settle in for the night.
Here's one pic I thought I'd never capture, due to the height they're at, and their speedy antics in the fast fading light.
Actually held the camera way above my head as high as my arms could stretch, just to get a bit closer on zoom, and tilted it at the best angle to catch whatever light possible.
I really couldn't see a darn thing on the screen in such low light and holding it so far away - surprised I got a few, not perfect focus, but hey, I was delighted :)

Thank you very much for your visit and taking the time to comment! Really appreciated!
One of several, having a noisy frolic amongst the roses, feeding on the abundance of Aphids. Could this be the Mother of the chick in the next photo, I wonder?
The noisy miner (Manorina melanocephala) is a bird in the honeyeater family, Meliphagidae, and is endemic to eastern and south-eastern Australia.
This Robin was drawing attention to itself as we passed by on the dog walk this morning. The brief spell of sunshine on an otherwise dull outing really made the colours pop.
This is the time of the year when many of these little birds are busy feeding cuckoos.
Fortunately this meal was destined for a very noisy pipit chick
Meadow Pipit - Anthus Pratensis
Kex Gill - Yorkshire Dales
Thanks as always to all those kind enough to stop by to view, fave and comment on my photos. It is as always most appreciated and welcome.

Until recently we had not seen any Noisy Miners in our area. Now a small group have moved in near the football ground.
