BIRDS

When I drove past the Nursery Holding Area on 15 Jan 10, I was drawn to some rustling movement amongst the low grass weeds growing from the laterite layer.

I stopped on my buggy and observed from a distance. Then I realized they were actually birds feeding on the seedheads of the grasses. There were groups of Spotted Doves and Munias.

Everytime I drove the buggy closer to take their photos, they took off further away from me. Eventually, I managed to get some photos of them.

Aren't they just lovable?
