Deep South WA, Feb ‘25 (#32 in series: “feel the serenity”)

 

The first two hours of daylight at “our” birdbath were sometimes even more frenetic than was the “afternoon rush” depicted in this series’ previous chapter.

After 8.30 am, however, the “morning peak” had passed, and a reclusive, petite bird could bathe, alone, and enjoy at least a semblance of privacy and calm.

Deep South WA, Feb ‘25 (#29 in series: two species, sharing “2”)

 

 

At 3.45 pm on 08 February 2025 we watched a red-eared firetail finch (of whatever gender) and a (definitely-male) red-winged fairywren share the same feeder.

It was the first time in my life that I had seen members of both species within so very few millimetres of each other.
