Magic moments

I'll keep up the happy vibe : )

I'm a relatively new birder and dont(didn't) really know many names at all....

Every new bird i see is a magic moment for me...and they're coming thick and fast   : )...so i'm a very happy chappy at the moment.

Today i've seen White browed woodswallows playing with Yellow-rumped Thornbills, spoonbills, stilts, purple waterhens,black swans, teals, ducks, whiteplumed honeyeaters, some strange ducks that i couldnt get a good look at, a couple of magical pale predatory birds (kites???) that where hovering playfully in the wind over my car, and some beautifully marked blue coloured pigeons. : )

Today has been a wonderful day for bird watching for me (even though the weather has been shite).

I luv this great country  : )
