First bird of my day: the jackdaws jacking over the village in plumes of chatting black. #firstbirdofmyday #whatsyours

A pair of crimson rosellas flying through the garden, feathers nicely coordinating with the bluebells and crimson azaleas. #firstbirdofmyday #whatsyours

A cockatoo sheltering under the porch as I came out of my favourite green grocers this morning. Still plenty of rain plus an earth tremor last night which I managed to sleep through. #Firstbirdofmyday #Whatsyours

First bird of my day: a pair of jackdaws hanging out on their chimney pot. #firstbirdofmyday #whatsyours

Rotten weather here, cockatoos are the only birds out and about with not a care in the world. #firstbirdofmyday #whatsyours

First bird of my day: my crow honking at me rather angrily because I had overslept because he doesn’t fully understand or care that I’m not very well. #firstbirdofmyday #whatsyours

Maggie was back this morning claiming first bird position. She has been ignoring me since I ‘abandoned’ her to go on holiday, and pretended not to know me when I saw her in next door’s garden 😄 #firstbirdofmyday #whatsyours

A glorious spring morning and as I took the compost out a sulphur-crested cockatoo glided across my head and perched in the elm tree. It briefly looked at me as I looked at it then with a mild squawk flew off to join the rest of the gang. #firstbirdofmyday #whatsyours

A glorious spring morning and a sulphur-crested cockatoo glided over my head as I took the compost out. It perched on an elm branch, briefly looked down at me as I looked at it then flew off with a mild squawk to join the rest of the gang. #Firstbirdofmyday #Whatsyours

First bird of my day: a blackbird, dashing. #firstbirdofmydsy #whatsyours

The red wattlebird was first up today, loud and persistent outside my bedroom window then later, after a stint in the giant salvia, it chased off a couple of rainbow lorikeets who had the temerity to be perched in the elm branches. #Firstbirdofmyday #Whatsyours

First bird of my day: my crow looking oh so glossy in the autumn sunrise. #firstbirdofmyday #whatsyours
