The Superb Blue Wren is always a delight to see. I snapped this one through bedroom windows yesterday.
The Australian Wood Ducks are becoming more visible wondering our streets at the moment. I wonder if this is the same pair I followed last year as their family roamed around.
We're in the thick of hockey semi-finals this week. Master T and the twins each had wins last night, which happened to be one of the coldest nights we've had this winter. Three more hockey games tomorrow.
Master T pointed out a strange sight behind the hockey fields - Wood Ducks roosting for the night , all in a row.
It was a beautiful evening, even if rather chilly!
Photographic note: The moon photo was taken with my Canon 600D DSLR with 55-250 kit lens, leaning against a pole (I don't own a tripod). Manual settings 1/100 shutter speed, f.11, ISO 100. Edited in iPhoto, resized in DroPic for blogging then re-edited in PicMonkey.

Ptak z pierwszych zdjęć jest cudny. Kaczki zabawnie wyglądają siedząc rzędem na płocie. Gratuluję dzieciom wygranych meczy. Pozdrawiam serdecznie.
Bird of the first picture is wonderful. Ducks look funny sitting on the fence row. I congratulate the kids won matches. Yours sincerely.
Lindas imagens, adorei o passarinho.

You captured the moon so well! I really do wonder how you did this, I've tried it several times but I think my camera isn't up to it.
