Dawn Chorus
There are times I wish I was more of an early bird!
Glorious sunrises…
… and the magnificent dawn chorus, which is so beautiful to hear 
Our feathered friends put on such an enthusiastic fanfare as they pour their heart out singing in the day – I wish I got to hear it on a more regular basis! Such a variety of tunes, and it seems to be the only time of day I get to hear the butcher bird with his melodic aria – Not sure where he goes off to for the rest of the day.
Within an hour of the sun rising the ruckus has settled and the more pressing task – foraging for food - gets underway.
It’s then only the odd cackle of a kookaburra who breaks the silence to clarify who’s the owner of this patch ~
This little group (there are three there!) frequently sit in the old gum tree outside my office window keeping an eagle eye out for unwelcome intruders; interspersed, of course, with diving off for the odd tasty morsel!
