Unlike the raucous, flamboyant birds that inhabit my back garden screeching for food early in the morning.. the insect eating, honey sippers flit around in the trees and bushes in my front garden. The
Red Wattlebirds above are described as 'big & noisy', maybe I'm lucky, maybe I have a '
Michael Bublé pair :) I love to hear them warbling outside my bedroom window as they call to their mate. The butterfly mentioned is atop the
key lime tartlet that I 'experienced' last week in
Le Papillon Patisserie,
très délicieux! It's going to be 36C here in Perth today, bit of a shock to the system after the perfect spring weather, hopefully it's just a rogue hotty, it's too early for extreme temperatures, although the weather has been misbehaving around the globe lately oui! Hope you're enjoying the weekend, take care and stay safe.....
What a sweet little tart, Grace. And is that bird actually hanging upside down? Crazy. Have a nice day.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the bird and the beautiful, yellow flowers!! But of course, since it is early morning and I haven't eaten -- the tart looks delicious!! So, before I drool on my keyboard , I'd better go have some breakfast even if it is the "same old stuff"!! Hope your weekend is off to a fun start!
ReplyDeletestriking bird shots!

Wild birds and cake, two of my favourite things!
ReplyDeleteI bet they have almond croissants there! Love the birds - I even like to hear them when they have awakened me way to early, Grace.
ReplyDeleteA very distinctive bird, Grace!
ReplyDeleteLove seeing the wattlebird tip upside down to reach nectar. Your photos highlight their pattern and colouring beautifully. Our wattlebirds sound quite enchanting usually, but when there is "danger" - as a cat around - the call becomes quite raucous. You must have all our good Spring weather. The best that can be said for ours is "erratic" with a tendency to chilly winds and rain. But we're still hoping for some semblance of Spring warmth eventually.
ReplyDeleteHoney sippers, sounds like the name of a band from the 50s.
ReplyDeleteThose are some neat birds! The only ones I've ever seen upside down were not even birds -- bats.
ReplyDeleteOn a note from Sunnbrook Farm the honey sippers sounds more to me like the Honey Drippers from the 70s or 80s.
Great shots. The tart looks tasty.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a life of decadent pleasure with those birds, flowers and that tarte.
ReplyDeleteWe're going in the opposite direction (sensible, since we're in the northern hemisphere), with -17 C by Tuesday night,
OH that's hot Grace - we had a lovely warm day down here yesterday and today has become more so, but please keep those temps up there, we don't want them! Lovely bird pics and love the look of that little butterfly tart, yummy! Joy x
ReplyDeleteBuona domenica...ciao
ReplyDeleteThey are pretty, you'd need to make a video so that we can hear them!
ReplyDeleteSweet tooth, you! :-)
Très joli post!
ReplyDeleteInteresting post ! marvellous shot !
Love those bird shots as I am an avid bird watcher. These guys are beautiful. They also appear to be very accommodating or else you have a very long lens.
ReplyDeleteNice bird and the sweet butterfly mmmm....good sunday, Arianna
ReplyDeleteI have never seen that bird. Such pretty pictures! ....and oh that Key Lime!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty photos of the bird, he made a swing for you, very nice.
ReplyDeleteLove the second bird's shot. Fantastic capture, Grace!
ReplyDeleteNice to think of you and those birds, all enjoying a taste of something sweet.
ReplyDeleteReally, really good shots, Grace. And, yes, the weather is doing silly stuff in some parts of our world but looks rather nice in Perth :).
ReplyDeleteI can understand life must be better for birds "down under", and not up north where we now have +1C.
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy....and pretty,-that little cake:)
A beautiful bird and a yummy-looking dessert. Does it get any better than this?
ReplyDeleteYour bird photos are wonderful, Grace, as is the butterfly on the lime tartlet.
