A photo of me, a white man with an increasingly-scruffy red beard and an increasingly-receding hairline smiling at the camera. I'm holding a guitar which you can just see the neck of, and behind me is the window out to the backyard where our little back room structure is sitting with its door open. The sun is getting towards setting but it's still nice and light outside. (Yes I'm aware that I'm facing the wrong way in this photo to be watching birds, you smarty-pants. 😛)

A very zoomed-in shot looking at the door of the back room as one of the little birds is mid-flight on its way out. I don't know what sort of bird it is but they're brown, TINY, and have a red patch on their faces. This one has its wings out and its feet extended because about a half second after I took the photo it landed on the grass.

Current status: practicing palm muting by doing some power chord chugging on my Epiphone SG while watching the tiny little birds flit around outside searching for seeds after I mowed the lawn yesterday.

They hop from place to place, then elongate their necks to make themselves taller and wiggle their little tails while they do it, it's so cute. Two of them even got bold enough to explore the back room and were in there for a good minute or so! I managed to catch one mid-flight as it zoomed back out.

A photo of a big sports field with two upright field goals for rugby at the left and right of frame, and the usual flood lights on tall poles. The field is quite dry and brown-looking, and the whole area is surrounded by trees at the left and right, and in the far distance is the amenities building and beyond that are houses.

A photo of two galahs standing on the grass. They're cockatoo-looking birds with light grey wings that turn towards dark grey at the very ends, a pink body, white on top of their heads from about eye level upwards, and short white beaks.

Absolutely off the charts #GloriousSydney areas today, so we went for a good walk. No sports on but the cricket nets were full and we met some galas.

A photo of a rainbow lorikeet sitting in amongst the leaves and branches of a big tree.

I am unreasonably excited to have spotted a rainbow lorikeet hanging out in the big tree in our backyard! They're such lovely birds and we don't see them around here. It was chirping away another one that I couldn't see.

A photo of five medium-sized brown birds with sharp pointy peaks and a mottled pattern on their feathers wandering around in the grass.

We just had a group of birds of a sort I haven't seen here before wandering around the backyard finding things to eat in the grass. I saw at least one of them grabbed a slug! It looks like it was raining a fair bit overnight and everything is soaked, I wonder if that's driven the slugs out or something.
