Every time I see or hear a native bird I think of you...if only you were next to me, I could ask you what it is, because other than the obvious, well-known few, I'm clueless with birds.
Great close-up of the kookaburra's eye.
They might be common to you but they're pretty exotic to me. Well, except for the mallard duck. I thought the artwork was your snacks. Do you have goldfish crackers in Australia? Here's Mine
Wonderful birds!!
That was some fabulous bird watching. I learned a song about a kookaburra as a child and would love to see one in person.
The rainbow one is so pretty!
Common birds for you are exotic for me. I know I'll never see a kookaburra or a Rainbow lorikeet unless I travel to half a globe away. Before then, thanks for sharing your ordinary bird watching moment. ;)
So fun to see these birds I would never get a chance to see!
The close-up of the kookaburra is stunning! The rainbow lorikeet is such a pretty bird. Hard to believe it's real!

I always enjoy your bird photos. We don't see water birds much in Wyoming. A few Canadian geese, mallards and the occasional Whooping Crane on migration. Thanks for sharing.
I like the coloring on the lorikeet. We have wild parrots in our neighborhood.
Lazy bird watching is the best, especially when such a nice variety stops by. The kookaburra is a handsome fellow. He looks similar to our Belted Kingfisher, but I've never had a kingfisher on the gutter! The lorikeet is gorgeous, nothing like it near me. We have painted buntings but I'd have to travel south to see those.
Do you see the Rainbow Lorikeets very often? I can't imagine how shocked I would be to see one.
I really like the close up of the kookaburra. You feel like you could touch him.
Now I shall be humming the Kookaburra song for the rest of the evening! What a handsome bird!
Wow! fantastic photos - the wild life in your Newcastle is very different from the wildlife in our Newcastle (UK).
