I should have written more but my life is dominated by work at the moment, and fights with the insurance company over the vets fees after our beloved Chudleigh died last month.
Lunch at the bird feeder! |
Despite my hectic life managing through the Covid crisis I have had a little time for birding but what I have noticed in particular is the absence rather than the presence of a bird. Normally in winter we see regular flocks of Silvereyes that have migrated up from Tasmania or southern Australia, but this year not one. These birds are so common I rarely bother to photograph them, but this year none! I can only assume that the major bush fires in NSW earlier this year has interrupted their migration?
