An interesting hierarchy or risk appetite of the wild birds. The finches are the bravest and the budgies are the most risk averse and will scatter when you push the shutter button.
When a raptor wheels over head everyone disappears! We spent quite a time sitting quietly at a distance to wait for the birds to come down to the water. (And it was HOT)
@dutchothotmailcom@olivetreeann@jamibann with a record wet year and all the grasses everywhere we saw flocks and flocks of these birds and others flying across the road but they are so quick its special to be able to capture them on 'film'!
Your patience paid off,well done
