bird traffic
seeking seed below
time to eat
Recently we visited the Mornington Peninsula gallery to experience an incredible exhibition called ” Birds – Flight Paths in Australian Art” http://mprg.mornpen.vic.gov.au/Exhibitions/Past-exhibitions/Birds-Flight-paths-in-Australian-Art
The exhibition was spectacular and also the display from a flock of well over a hundred Little Corellas was entertaining. The flock was ascending, descending , alighting , feeding all at the same time in and around and beneath the adjoining Pines and Cypresses that were seeding. Corellas and Cockatoos love the seeds from these trees during Summer. The noise is deafening and brought back memories of my childhood in Western Victoria when similar sized flocks would arrive at our house yard that was surrounded by massive pine trees and Cypresses.
This is my contribution to the one a week week Photo Challenge and the challenge this week is TRAFFIC . For this years challenge planned by Cathy and Sandra visit Cathy’s blog at https://nanacathydotcom.wordpress.com/one-a-week-photo-challenge-2017/
Rush hour!

Possibly see and smell. Birds find seed in our yard and they have to have smelt it to come there.

Thanks Xenia. They had been feeding on trees nearby discovered more near the gallery. These birds also eat grain harvests so farmers do not like them.

The sight is lovely but the noise of them in their hundreds is overpowering.

Birds are fascinating to watch. I am blessed with the geese that inhabit a local lake. I love it when they fly over my house to and fro, honking as they go! it’s as though they are speaking directly to me.

Thanks Janice. It was a photo challenge that I also add a Haiku to. Bird flocks are the only traffic images i have so the challenge then was with the haiku.

Thanks Olga . We were lucky to have them on the ground right beside the gallery. They are fairly tame but watchful.
