This little one's nest fell to the ground I picked it up and out it popped, so calm it was incredible. I tooks some photos then my husband popped the nest back into the tree and all was well.

I have never seen one of those before, thanks so much for showing them to us. What a great story.
(if I remember, you said you don't have a good camera, those photos are great, you must have been very close? Doesn't matter what camera or lens, the secret is to get as close as possible. Well done)

O, you know, those babies are that calm, because they haven't experienced any threats yet. I noticed with the wrens it takes almost a week before they understand danger. At that stage their best defence is to be quiet. They start walking a dangerous path when they start calling for food. That gives away where they are, and puts them at risque.

Araminta I was able to take that photo because I brought the nest up to the veranda to have a look at it, not even knowing a bird was inside, believe it or not! So yes, I was close
... You are so right, the little ones haven't learnt to be frightened but it sure was a lovely experience.
Tonight I sat and typed up a list of all the birds I have seen since living on the farm here - the ones I have recognised and who have returned again and again or are resident here - and it came to 66 varieties. There are more but without identification that number stands. How lucky am I? You can see why I long for a new camera.

hi, there is a Thread called Identification where you can post pics and other members will ID the bird species
Peter
Hi Peter, thanks for that but the unidentified birds are also the ones I don't have photos of. I have posted in the Identification threads for one I couldn't name. My list of identified birds on the farm is now up to 69 and counting.
Thank you for your kind help. Nice to meet and especially someone who knows my area. Cheers
