About time I posted my mug on here. Hate photos of myself but if others take the plunge then why not.

Just realised I've committed the terrible social faux pas of mixing SYL & Dev merchandise in one jaunty ensemble.

Reminds me of an avatar I've seen a few times. I mean, it's a hand drawn picture, but it's still pretty close. If only I could recall where I saw it....
:D

Kinda reminds me of the photo expressions of a dude I knew, that thought he could hear the thoughts of what other people were thinking about him.
He totally lost the plot eh'

Their numbers dropped right off with Asian gangs poaching their eggs. Noticing them coming back more now. Have some Black 'white tails' in my neck of the woods. Sound a bit like Whale noises. Here's a Red tailed clip I found on youtube.

I see the mudlark won't fuck with it on the tv aerial, they are heaps territorial, even take on wedge tailed Eagles and Falcons.


Good to see a bit of bird love. :mrgreen:

We're spoilt for choice where I live I guess, as we have a nature reserve behind our street. So we have galahs, sulphur crested cockatoos, eastern and southern rosellas, rainbow lorikeets and at least a couple of dozen other species easily viewable. Have seen a few superb blue wrens this year, and some silveryes too - so tiny that they're almost impossible to see in the undergrowth. I can see how people get into birdwatching - it'k kind of addictive trying to spot different species.

Funny you should mention ravens taking on eagles - there's a pair of wedge tails that patrol the valley we're in and we spotted them on the weekend. Wasn't hard to see them, as they were being "attacked" by magpies, currawongs and what looked like ravens. But it was like a 747 being attached by a squadron of mosquitos - not exactly a fair fight!

Highlight for me this year is that we have a magpie nest (no swooping thankfully) in our backyard, so I've got to the point of being able to handfeed the three magpies that hang around. Haven't got them to land on my hand, but I don't want them too trusting of humans - they know I'm a food source but they watch me pretty carefully! Trying not to feed them so much they're dependent on it - would much prefer to have them disappear than be dependent on me for food.

Unbelievably nerdy to be so into birds I'm sure, but what the hell.


I have a big garden I'm constantly adding bird attracting plants/trees too. In Summer I love just sitting watching how many different birds come to the pond to drink. I was saying mudlarks take on Eagles. Pretty sure the black cockatoo's I've been seeing took over the Sea Eagles breeding ground. Now too make sure the fight to protect the area from residential developers continues.
Get this, used to see Robin Red Breast on my walk to school as a kid. Development comes in, birds habitat-pretty much gone, but they still name the residential development "Robin Red Breast". Just to remind me/us what used to be there. Hopefully a few come back and re-generate in the bit of space left for habitats. If you wanna call Leonardo DaVinci a nerd, I'll be nerdy too :P

sounds pretty par for the course. The usual thing is for them to name all the streets after the species of trees they have razed to clear the land for development.

One was unamused that day for some reason, as you can probably tell.
Cue Mona Lisa face...
