There’s always a showoff. Even among the birds. Observe the dive bomber, landing gear down, coming in sideways from the right about 1 o’clock. Tricky, yes?
During the six fire days this past week, I made sure the bird bath was always filled with clean, cool water. Sometimes there would be ten or more of our feathered friends jostling for space.
The acrobatic bird in the top photo (a female pink or scarlet robin) is the same one seen in the photo below. She is either doing a “jump start” or coming in hard for a “look, no wings” approach.
A little humour to lighten the day.

Ah lovely pictures, lovely bird.
Aren’t Robins THE most delightful birds. Just love the look Mum, no wings approach. Glad to hear that you folks on the peninsula are surviving, coming from East Gippsland in Victoria and having endured weeks and weeks of smoke and ash I can empathize with you. Stay strong, keep smiling and reach out and reassure each other.
