Sunday Selections #194

Sunday Selections was originally brought to us by Kim, of Frogpondsrock, as an ongoing meme where participants could post previously unused photos languishing in their files. 

The meme is now continued by River at Drifting through life.  The rules are so simple as to be almost non-existent.  Post some photos under the title Sunday Selections and link back to River.  Clicking on any of the photos will make them embiggen.

Like River I usually run with a theme.  We had a very wet day here on Tuesday.  The builders were feeling sorry for themselves... and I was feeling sorry for the birds.

The next day the sun came out, but there were still clouds around.  Which gave us a wonderful sunset.  Subtle to begin with, but blazing by the end.

On Friday the builders only made a brief and token appearance (drat them) and didn't manage to actually do anything,  As they sauntered in with their cocky tradie's walk they completely missed seeing the king parrot camouflaged in the camellia by our front door.  Their loss.

Like River I generally run with a theme.  We had rain this week.  Quite a lot of wonderful rain.  I loved it, and I could see the garden drinking deeply.  Some of the birds who visit us may not have been as happy with the moisture as I was...

Now that is a very, very wet galah.  It didn't have any effect on his appetite though.  The galah left, and a Corella came to the feeder.  And what a Corella.  We can only assume that he was feeding beside the road when a truck or a car drove through a puddle showering him with muddy water.

Again, it didn't have any impact on his appetite.

A pair of truly woeful looking birds.

I am a softie at heart, so I have also included a video of canoodling galahs.  I was standing at the loungeroom window with my camera so the sound effects are, sadly, from the television.
