Bird of the Week: 24th September - Black and White

Welcome to a new week everyone! Thought that I would introduce some new theme types to our Bird of the Week sessions smiley Rather than focussing purely on a bird species (or type of bird) I will introduce different colours, habitats and other themes to keep things interesting.

 

This week is Black and White - interpret as you wish...

I'm quite enjoying Bird of the Week.  I don't think you can call yourself Australian until you've been swooped by a Maggie.

I don't wish it on anyone, but this is what you get, when you live in Gembrook. Will try again much later, sorry.

Great theme Holly and thanks for sharing your photos everyone. There are a lot more black and white birds than we first think of. I have a sacred ibis and a straw-necked ibis.

What a great selection of shots but I am waiting for a Penguin (or are they too grey?).  You can never have enough Stilts so just one more because I do like it despite some lighting problems.
