Sunday Selections

Sunday Selections, brought to us by Kim, of Frogpondsrock, is an ongoing theme where participants post previously unused photos languishing in their files. 

Anyone can join in, just post your photos under the Sunday Selections title, link back to Kim, then add your name to her Linky list at Frogpondsrock.

I have been featuring the birds who visit us for the last few weeks and, judging by my huge collection of bird photos, could do so indefinitely.

I am going with Eastern Rosellas today.  They are quite small birds, but bring vibrant splashes of colour when they visit.  The female is slightly less bright than the male, but they both seem to bring the sunshine with them.  Not really birds with character oozing from their pores (do birds have pores?) but enchanting just the same.  They apparently mate for life, and this first couple do look to be deeply attached to each other.

This is not strictly within Kim's guidelines, but I hope she won't mind.

And my theme for this week is Eastern Rosellas.  I hadn't seen them for a few weeks and wasn't sure whether I had just not looked at the right time, or whether they had moved on.  And then, last Thursday early, they reappeared.  They are almost bottom of the pecking order so rarely get the feeder or the apple to themselves.  And like many of the birds we see, they LOVE apple.  Green for preference.  And on the grey days we have been having they are a joyous splash of colour.
