A flurry of feathers in the azaleas and salvias as the red wattlebird and a little raven fight for dominance on this beautiful spring morning. #firstbirdofmyday #whatsyours

First bird of my day: my crow. Honking. As usual. Wouldn’t have it any other way. Grey but warm outside. #firstbirdofmyday #whatsyours

First bird of my day: a blackbird spurting out of the bush as the mist lingers over the field. #firstbirdofmyday #whatsyours

I saw the feathered fingertips of a raven as it flew across the cloudy blue sky this morning, aarking into the wind. #firstbirdofmyday #whatsyours

First bird of my day: alllllll the rooks in a warm autumn sky. #firstbirdofmyday #whatsyours

The red wattlebird is almost taking over as the dominant bird in the garden lately. She sits on the hand rail just near the kitchen window knowing full well that someone will probably appear with some scraps. #firstbirdofmyday #whatsyours

Two wattlebirds in the long grass on the block next door. I can only describe them as playful, hopping back and forwards in the grass and facing each other, beak to beak on an old stump. #firstbirdofmyday #whatsyours

First bird of my day: a female sparrow peeping at me on the coldest morning of the autumn so far. We looked at each other and then carried on. #firstbirdofmyday #whatsyours

#FirstBirdOfMyDay: A cleanup crew of crows spread across the highway, taking their duty seriously. We slowed nearly to a stop while they weighed their options of feast or flight. (Flight won.)

I heard a raven and watched as it flew down to the lawn and made short work of the dinner scraps. #firstbirdofmyday #whatsyours

First bird of my day: herring gull flying through the grey oh so sleek. #firstbirdofmyday #whatsyours

The magpie family, a currawong and the red wattlebird all in attendance in the kitchen garden. Johnny’s out there with crusts and bacon scraps currying favour with all and sundry🥴 #firstbirdofmyday #whatsyours

First bird of my day: the rooks. Alllll the rooks. #firstbirdofmyday #whatsyours

A small flock of thornbills flitting and dancing and easily visible around the naked boughs of a large tree on the side of the road. #firstbirdofmyday #whatsyours

First bird of my day: a robin hiding in the shrub beady eye watching me. #firstbirdofmyday #Whatsyours

Welcome Swallows, 2 of them zigzagging along the railway underpass as I ran for the train. 3rd bird was also a W swallow, observed from the massive window in the waiting room on the 13th floor. Should I be looking up the symbolism of 3 swallows in a row 🥴 #firstbirdofmyday #whatsyours

First bird of my day: my crow again. Honking this time within a slight mist. There were other birds but none of them were so loud or demanding. He’s looking gorgeously sleek. #firstbirdofmyday #whatsyours

Crimson rosellas, lots of them flying around the garden then over the road to the tall gums. Two red wattlebirds much closer to the house enjoying the abundance of blossom. #firstbirdofmyday #whatsyours

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
