Sometimes our most magical moments can happen right
in our backyards, even if they're a dingy concrete oasis like my rental unit!
Sitting outside this morning enjoying the fresh air
and sounds of a Saturday morning in the city, I had a little visitor join me in
my contemplation. A wee-willie wagtail had ventured into our "garden" to do a
bit of spider cleaning. He/She was a shabby looking bird, but like most
willie-wags showed no fear of me and was quite happy to dart in and out of my
legs to get the spiders and other bugs hiding under the step I was perched on.
We have honeyeaters and turtle-doves come in often enough, however once they
catch site of the human on the step they're off like lightning. Not our shabby
friend, he was quite happy to let me share his playground.
A great start to the morning, and shows a road-trip
out to woop-woop isn't necessary to get in a good bit of birding!
Have a great long weekend birdos!!
