Rose, if you're not careful, you're going to find fifty DG'ers lobbed on your doorstep armed with cameras and bags of sugar.

Kniphofia, your gorgeous little robin looks like it's just had a sniff of a rose petal and is trying to decipher the subtle notes - like a wine connoisseur

Thanks, Boojum. Banksias attract birds, bees, beetles and ants (the latter not the aggressive kind). Everything about the banksia is intriguing. The Red Wattlebird is a real character. I've been walking around in the yard with a bowl of cornflakes and one has come and perched on my bowl and helped itself.

Wallaby, the feather pattern on the song thrush looks like passionfruit on ice cream.

Thanks for the encouraging comment, pelle.

The attached photo is quite an old one of a Crimson Rosella outside the TV room. It visited for a couple of years on and off. It was probably an escapee from an aviary as they are not native to W.A.
