While staying in Denmark on the southern coast of Western Australia at Gumnuts B&B we were joined for breakfast by a noisy group of galahs. It is fun to watch these comical birds squabbling over their food.
There was one bird sitting aside from the others. We think he was young and perhaps had to wait for the others to eat before he could move in.
The galahs chased the other birds away. They sneaked in and took anything that fell to the ground or swooped in while the galahs were fighting in the tree branches above.
Bronze wing pigeons were happy to stay on the ground and pick up anything that fell down.
A black and yellow honey eater made do with what it could find on the agapanthus.
The wonderful garden at Gumnuts is the perfect home for these lovely birds.
Later on gorgeous bright blue Splendid Wrens joined us for lunch. They showed no fear at all and came quite close. Their movements are incredibly quick, making it difficult to get clear photos of them.
The male birds are brightly coloured.
The pale blue feathers at the side of his head add a festive touch.
The female is pale grey with a blue tail. Only one female appeared, but she scored the prize of a delicious insect.
This gorgeous hebe was a magnet for bees. I hope my plant at Casa Debbio looks like this one day soon.
The area around Denmark is beautiful…keep an eye out for the bird life. Gumnuts B&B was a great place to stay in Denmark. http://www.gumnutsbnb.com.au
