IBIS AND COCKATOOS
The birds have been very quiet around Kilmore in the last weeks.
Now half way into autumn, there is a little more activity.
Driving about the district yesterday, I found quite a party going on around the yards on one of our farms.
The sulphur-crested cockatoos were busy going through the remains from the hay that fed out that morning.
This flame robin was very interested on what was going on around the yards but kept his distance, happy just to watch.
The flamboyant brightness of the male flame robin's chest, stand out from a great distance. A little more orange in colouring than the flame robin, he is easy to spot on a cloudy day.
The Australian Ibis are always on the lookout for an easy meal. This group spent a little while watching from a safe place before coming down to feed amongst the grain and stalks left lying on the ground.
