Waiting for the train

Another busy day here, so this is a photo taken at Richmond Vale last weekend.

This pied butcher bird seemed to be waiting for the train to arrive.

Thanks to everyone who's commented on my pictures for the last couple of days. I will catch up as soon as I can.

I am putting together a photo book of my 365 photos at the moment so that will take up some of my free time.

David is also helping a friend of his put together a photo book too so we are pretty busy at present.

@gigiflower Butcherbirds have a hook on the end of their beaks like this one and kookaburra's have straight beaks and they are much bigger too

A Pied Butcher bird......I have never heard of one of those......a cute name & he looks a cute bird! Great to catch him sitting on that sign...suits it somehow!

Very nice shot of this attractive bird. Photo books can be a bit time consuming to put together but are well worth the effort.

Nice shot of this juvenile Babs

[Babs]

@happypat They call them butcher birds because they chop up their meat with the hook on their beaks and then take it away and hang it on a tree for later.

[Pat Knowles]

@onewing How clever......had to have another look at them......they must have to keep an eye out no other bird nicks their larder!!
