Early Spring

I was just thinking that Spring must be close to springing. Heard my first
Noisy Friar Bird for the season. Coincidentally I also saw a possible
escapee, but not certain, a Western Ringneck. Again, I'll see if I can tempt
it in later.

    Seems to be an early Spring with the Daffodils and Grevilleas in
flower
and green grass after the last rain. Heatwave conditions for August in
Orange, NSW with max. temps of 14-15C.

    Yesterday evening I sighted and heard a female Crested Bellbird in my
yard for the first time ever. I hope she has a family closeby. This
morning
the calls of Grey Strike-thrushes can be heard from the parkland up the
road. Also sighted yesterday evening is either an inmature Crimson or
Western Rosella. Probably an escapee. It did not hang around for long
enough
for a definate ID. I will try and attract it back with some parrot seed.
