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

First bird of my day: robins singing to each other over the gardens in golden autumn light. #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

First bird of my day: starlings flooding the sky with the joy of their speedy straight flight. #firstbirdofmyday #whatsyours

A pied currawong, calling out as it swooped low through the garden this morning. #firstbirdofmyday #whatsyours

First bird of my day: my crow looking sleek under the grey clouds and warm breeze. #firstbirdofmyday #whatsyours
