I'm posting this as a record of the first time I've photographed the wrong bird!
Still at Mt Tomah Botanical Gardens, I was following a pair of relatively confiding whipbirds that were teasing in and out of shadowed and protected trees. Unfortunately they were keeping between me and the sun so the views weren't great. When one popped out onto a branch I took a few photos without looking carefully at the bird that was partly in silhouette. So just now I'm surprised to see it was actually a Red-whiskered Bulbul! In my defence they do have the same basic shape and both have a crest, though normally you'd be hard pressed to confuse the two.
(The Bulbul is an exotic Asian bird that has was introduced and settled in Sydney and seems to be expanding from there. Mt Tomah is perhaps 70km as the crow flies from central Sydney).
The painting is a well-known Vermeer painting called 'the guitar player'. She is holding a baroque guitar, which is in fact an ancestor of the modern guitar.
I could be wrong....I usually am...but I think this is a Lesser Spotted Woodpecker that has been visiting our garden for quite a while, usually arriving just after dawn it can be heard tapping away at the dead branches looking for food. We were rudely awoken by a smoke alarm malfunction just before 5 this morning. After being jolted awake it was impossible to back to sleep so when we hear the tapping start we looked out and spotted it. I got my camera which was still fitted with the 400mm zoom after a day at Cosford, I managed to get a few shots off deep in the trees so I had to up the ISO hence the graininess.
Or is it a greater spotted woodepecker.....

This thing (and many other trees and shrubs) had decided it's springtime just as the cold wave was hitting us - today we have snow, I wonder how this feels.. Nature gone crazy :( (But it was beautiful while it lasted; snow is also beautiful but it didn't last - so far)
This just killed me, Elf Shirts should not be put on Living Dead dolls.. But it just fits him so well lol
In Blythe news, its way too weird and Awkward on her :/
"There's nothin' wrong with lovin' who you are"
She said, "'Cause He made you perfect, babe"
"So hold your head up, girl and you'll go far,
Listen to me when I say"
I'm beautiful in my way,
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way
Don't hide yourself in regret,
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way
(Born this way)
Ooo, there ain't no other way
Baby, I was born this way

Take a bruised chin take a skinned knee
take a million hits before I ever concede
scream is that all you got as I bleed
I always come back, I never disappear
even if I take my final breaths here
I need you now
don't fade away on me
cause I made a mistake,
I think I took a wrong turn
somewhere along the way,
I sealed my fate
and all I know is you're gone,
yeah you're gone away
I'll never touch your face
I'll never see you again
And I watch each day through the falling snow,
the dead men walking through their highs and lows
wishing they could start again somewhere new
and I stare at the cold and I feel their pain,
i watch as their life slowly fades away.
I see their eyes, they're piercing mine,
there's nothing I can say
Cause I made a mistake,
I think I took a wrong turn
somewhere along the way,
I sealed my fate and all I know is you're gone,
yeah you're gone away I'll never touch your face
I'll never see you again
Cause I made a mistake,
I think I took a wrong turn
somewhere along the way,
I sealed my fate and all I know is you're gone,
yeah you're gone away I'll never touch your face
I'll never see you again
I might be wrong
I might be wrong
I could've sworn I saw a light coming on.
