Philemon corniculatus. Point Arkwright. Walked along the cliff top then down to the beach, along the beach to the end and back again. not a bird in sight, possibly because of the wind. On the way back I was threading my way gently through the bushes and small trees... and there they were... the most beautiful chortling song... delivered with abandon.
On my recent visit to the Vyne, I noticed this group, greylag geese I believe, going about their business, Sadly, I did not take my long lenses, so thought if I slowly edge nearer to them I might get a shot! Almost there when a group of other visitors to the property came up noisily behind me and the geese (and the youngsters) became very agitated and vocal. Such is life!
There were a bunch of animals making noise about me being in their space! A Grebe family, ducks, a muskrat or 2, some frogs and coyotes in the distance!
The Muskrats were really making a fuss? I was busy wiping fog off my lens after every shot maybe that disturbed the peace!
Part of my bird discoveries in Australia was this strange looking critter. I don't know where the noisy part comes from. This one was quiet, reserved, and had pin cushion eyeball transplants I think either that or the worst case of jaundice I've ever seen. Must be his diet. But on the cuteness scale I would rate it a 10 on 10.
Trying out a new-old lens. I picked up a Nikor 43-86 zoom lens. Everything is manual, which I actually like and the quality is as good as the day it was released.
Last evening, Deborah and I sat out and watched the wrens fly in and out of their nest that they made out of our bird feeder. They always seemed angry. Cursing at the dog, cat, woodpecker, and us. Then, go and feed their noisy brood. Shortly after this was taken, one of the young ones jumped out and flew the coop. And today it was quiet. No more chatty birds. I already miss them.
Be safe my friends. B
Decided to post this archived shot of these Rhododendron buds just as they are trying to open. Used a little noise in photoshop to cover up imperfections in the image. I am not a real noise fan, but I think it works out ok with this particular image.
My Village is not connected by train, but when I wake up from a noise as if a train were running through the place, I know that the lawnmower gang has arrived. Leica M8, Elmar (collapsible) 90/4.
That's one of the busy, inquisitive and noisy bunch of younglings exploring our garden! There's quite some birdlife action going on at the moment which is brilliant to witness!
Philemon corniculatus
Meliphagidae
Noisy Friarbirds are conspicuous and active honeyeaters which are active in the outer canopy of flowering trees, especially eucalypts. They clamber about among the foliage, probing the flowers to feed on nectar, as well as gleaning lerps and manna. They also sally after flying insects. Friarbirds often associate with other larger honeyeaters such as wattlebirds, but may exclude smaller birds from profusely flowering trees. The Noisy Friarbird has a characteristically bare black head, and for this reason the species is occasionally referred to as a ‘leatherhead’. (www.birdlife.org.au/)

Unlike many endemic birds, Seychelles bulbul or the Merl in Creole, are not in any immediate danger of becoming extinct.
You can see them on all the largest islands from sea level to high altitudes in gardens and scrub, although they are particularly common in old woodland. They are noisy and aggressive birds, usually seen in small groups, with a range of chattering or squawking calls. Aldults are the only Seychelles land birds with orange beak and legs, but in young birds the beak and legs are dull grey-brown.
After turning pink, the sky then turned red - best sunset I've ever seen at Moffat Beach, Queensland. Continuation of the series of the last two photos.
