I'm developing an obsession with trees and plants of late, so when the birds go quiet I just start to ponder leaf veins and eucalypt species and other things I would've found terribly dull just five years ago.<br /><br />It's interesting to be old enough now to have witnessed changes in bird abundance - if you'd told me as a little kid that House Sparrows would almost disappear out of Brisbane, I'd never have believed you! That's why your counts are great too, as you'll be the first to notice when something is different.Christian Perrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06835955663432829705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526180646938954660.post-4562529908413678442014-07-23T09:47:10.483+01:002014-07-23T09:47:10.483+01:00Yea another Swallow and what a beauty.

For me, I love to surprise of no knowing what's round the corner and and also I just love being outside. I think you did very well today and I love the flight shot of the Tern, not always easy to get.
