A Pick-Me-Up ... The Year In Photographs ... June 12, 2013

I've been a little under-the-weather and off work over the last couple of days.  It's been lovely listening to the bird song around my place though, and that has cheered me up no end.


There has been a pair of little Sunbirds flitting around the courtyard, singing their hearts out ... but I only managed to get a shot of the beautiful little female.


The song of the Spangled Drongo has also been filling the air, and it's always a fantastic soundtrack to the day.

    1. Thank you kindly, Scotkat. The Sunbird is a very common sight here, and I really love their quiet song. I'll go and share a photo on your forum now. I'll take advantage of the free time I have at the moment.

    1. Thanks Sue. I'm afraid I fell sick during the plane trip back home on Monday. Not really a great way to finish off a fabulous long weekend away.

      I would love to see some photos of the Bluetits. Hopefully that rain will take a break long enough for you to get outside.

  5. While the songs of the birds have perked you up, it's simply the name of the Spangled Drongo that has cheered me on this rainy, rainy day up here. I want that bird in my garden, just so I can tell people: Spangled Drongo!
