January 22 - Big and small



Big and small ... the olive backed oriole down by the river has 3 chicks in her nest - so tiny compared to her, yet soon they will be fledged and grown. (you just knew it would be another bird photo didn't you!) so to make up for all the birds - mother and foal grazing in the paddock have almost identical markings :)

  1. Must be hell to continually fill those three bottomless pit in that nest!

    1. LOL I have noticed she sometimes takes the juicy caterpillars back if the babies don't eat them...

  3. The photos are so different in terms of energy, but both reflect the bond between mother and child.

  4. Your nature photography is breathtaking and I just love all the baby bird pics that you've featured. I've seen baby plover chicks too, so cute and like you said a fluffball on legs.
