Me: "Look Dear, its a Philemon Corniculatus in an Erythrina."
The Most DH: "Of course."
In english for the rest of us, please?
Its a Noisy Friar Bird in a Coral Tree.
We had arrived at the end of the road, literally. There was a gate across the road at the waters edge. We had done a loop of some sort, not the one we expected, but a nice ride nonetheless. So as we waited for the ferrymans return I stalked this - handsome - bird.
A few short hours later we were home again, and I set about appeasing my Feline Overlords. You know, the budgies dont give me anywhere near the grief!

Amazing picture Lavender! The Erythrinas are so colourful. Wonderful coral against the blue sky and the greens of the foliage. Thanks for broaden my zoological knowledge too with that noisy "what was it" bird! :-).

BetteJo Hooray BetteJo! You are the reason I put that third shot up - 'cause I know you love a blue sky backdrop :) Budgies are OK, nearly over the spring moult, so may try to photo them again soon - they will have to get used to the camera again - that takes alot of treats LOL
