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.

Noisy Friarbird
O what a beautiful morning!
Noisy Friarbirds are baldest of the friarbirds and I believe the nameFriarbird proves that at least one person involved in English nomenclature of Australian birds, had a sense of humour. Hallelujah!
How intriguing. I've never seen a friar bird yet.
ReplyDeleteI think they are seasonal migrants, returning here in the spring. Where I grew up in northern NSW, they were much more common. They're very likable.
