One doesn't usually expect to see a Spur-winged Plover, or Masked Lapwing as it's now known, in the suburbs, especially not walking around on the tarmac of a petrol station and certainly not to see a pair of them. But I did this morning.
This beautiful cream Protea with drops of rain on it was a real sight to see.
A cheeky Rainbow Lorikeet perched in an English Plane tree rather than a more suitable Eucalyptus tree. Ten years ago when seeing one of these pretty birds in the suburbs I rushed in to grab my binoculars as they were so rare out of the bush. Now however, they are very common in suburbia, but I still can't resist taking pictures whenever I see one, they are so gorgeously coloured.
