This blog is to share my photographs of, and enthusiasm for, the native birds living around and passing by the base of Mount Majura, Canberra, Australia. It was inspired by the swanlings at the bottom of my street. All photographs have been taken on local walks.

One of the many things I did not learn in high school..
And if I did not spend so much time gazing at waterbirds now, I might never have noticed the amazing fact that you can see right through one duck nostril and out the other to the world beyond. True. Look. The Hardheads at the pond have flat beaks and I don't think it's possible with them but it's possible with swans and Pacific Black Ducks. Try peering through next time you see them!

Too funny! I have noticed that at times, you do have to get nice and close though.
ReplyDeleteAre you suggesting nice and close is maybe too close :-)
