Return Of The Birds

The rainy days we've had this week has made the USM campus fresh and bird-filled again. Today was a great day to go shooting, as the weather was pleasantly cloudy. The birds are happy, and the naturally-diffuse lighting was splendid.

This dollarbird has returned to his favourite perching spot. This photo looks almost exactly like the one I took in November (but with the bird oriented the other way round).

The "little magpie robin that could" wanted to climb over the roof. Then he remembered he could fly.

The barbed wire does not stop birds from trespassing. Time for USM to adopt a new strategy, such as sending them strongly-worded letters of protest. Surely that will deter the white-throated kingfisher from poaching little fishes from our streams!
