17-23 October is Aussie Bird Count Week across Australia and those like my self who are interested can count the birds in their backyards over a 20 minute period, record their findings on the Aussie Backyard Bird Count app and help create a national record of birds in our backyard environments. This cheeky little chap was very busy during Bird Count Week. His female partner was nesting and he was ever on the prowl for spiders which seem to be his favourite food. He even flew from the rail to sit on the verandah chair beside after this snap was taken. .
