Put hanging fixings on and started with some thinned out linseed. Building inspectors keeping me in line
The same shed scene a day later but with a wider panorama. To the right looking through the shed door a bunch of galahs are feeding on the ground

Busted out a bird bungalow today
A tall bird box made from plywood, recycled Ikea shelves and jarrah. 
It has a tin roof to discourage bees.
It stands on a workbench in a very busy (messy) shed scene - importantly you can zoom in to an old olive green filing cabinet on the left and see a fridge magnet featuring a Blakfulla flag and Nyoongar wrestler Neil "The Viper" Coyne

Backyard in Boorloo facing east. Big raptor approaches top left- ain't seen this one hunting here before. Karrkany (Goshawk) and Kwedalbar (peregrine) sure, this one bigger. Manatj and Djakal Ngakal are making themselves scarce. Zoom in on these parrots 4 vibe

All the backyard parrots went still for a second before screeching into the air in all directions as this peregrine shot straight through a treeful of rock doves to dislodge them. There was a very different feeling amongst the birds than for the Goshawk- *that's the peregrine. Someone will die now *

Manatj in Boorloo start of Djeran season

Manatj patrol good kind
Two Manatj flying left to right in the late afternoon sun.
A red tiled roof, already in shadow, slopes down bottom left - a fig tree borders the lower picture, a jacaranda the right. Blue sky fills the top left.
The parrots are crossing the where the sky and trees meet, sunlight partly illuminating their white wings

ABC with the usual wild colonial take.
ABC correspondent Bridget Rollason visits Tel Aviv to speak to some Iranians who were forced to flee the Islamic regime. They are hopeful the conflict could bring a change to the regime, but say they are also worried for the safety of their family back home.

Bunuru season in Boorloo (Late summer in Perth) Valentines day After the crowd left the backyard, two parrot couples hung back
A pair of Djakal Ngalkal/Galah - a grey winged parrot with dusty pink legs, chest and neck, and a light pink crest. Cheeky. 

A pair of Manatj/Western Corella - a bigger white parrot (size of a streamlined chook) with hidden pale yellow feathers underwing. Random bright red feathers on chest and face sometimes. Moiety bird.
Same at a lower angle

Karrak, Manitj and Djakal Ngalkal are like this in the backyard every morning at the moment. That's just the parrots - a dozen other species drop through. Appreciate them
