Is it blackbird rutting season? The blackbird in our garden seems to be singing 24 hours a day at present. Not that I'm complaining; it's better than the bloody fireworks...

In 23 years living in this area of northern Sydney, I’ve never seen a bird smaller than a noisy miner in a garden. They’re the size of a starling and their aggression may well be the main reason smaller birds stick to the bush.
Anyway this afternoon I’d been hearing high pitched trilling down the side of the house and late this afternoon spotted a female or juvenile fairy wren popping up from the top of the Camelia hedge. I’ve seen them down near the creek less than a mile away but never in the garden.

It was a (rare) lovely dry day down in West Wales yesterday, and we had more than a dozen Red Kites soaring over our place just before dusk. No decent pics for you, sadly, but it was a beautiful sight.

Really good sized flock of lapwings on the freshly ploughed fields near my village today - probably 150-200.

I’m tempted by the kookaburra, frogmouth and brush turkey but I think the Aussie magpie gets my vote:Vote for your favourite species in the 2021 Guardian/BirdLife Australia bird of the year

Peeweeps in Elgin.
We still get decent sized groups, sometimes hundreds, on Northumberland coast

That’s a shame, lapwings (or peewits as my grandad used to call them) were a common sight in many open areas when I was young.
It will surprise nobody to hear that their Australian equivalent, the masked lapwing, sometimes dive bombs people and has sharp spurs on its wings.
