Beach walking and native birds

What do you love about where you live?

I love living right next to the beach and being able to walk there each day. There are egrets, rosellas, cocakatoos, gallahs, Australian crows, rainbow lorikeets, tawny frogmouths, dusky moorhens, superb fairy wrens. All flitter and flirt through the brush and low lying bushes near the beach with one eye on me as I walk by. These places are alive with a cacophony of calls and this puts me into a peaceful frame of mind. This other-than-human intelligence and knowing is soothing and helps me to realise and remember that I am not the only one with a brain or a life, it humbles and puts me into place as just another life form – living, breathing and surviving.

    1. Hi Taste Trecker thank you for the comment yes the sound is also very amazing hehe. I will try and describe it to you and then you can look them up its on YouTube if you are curious 😉

      Rosella and rainbow lorikeet: like a sound of cellophane giftwrap crunching and flying past your window very fast.

      Gallahs and cockatoos: like a group of tipsy middle aged women gossiping, talking loudly and laughing together. 🤣

      Magpies: Like an entire orchestra took LSD and played a symphony.

      Here’s a good video on the most common ones

  6. Beautiful Bird Image! I have been writing on my blog since February 2023 and it has become an everyday task that I must do. It has become a hobby for me. Can’t believe you get 37 or more comments on your blog articles. Please help me get more comments.
