There has been lots of activity at the bird bath. August was very dry so the water in the bird baths at home had to be replenished often. I have three bird baths around my house. This is what has been happening at just one.

This is the view I have of the bird bath from my verandah so it makes it easier to get a few photos. The birds still notice me and often fly off.

The King Parrots are easy to spot when they visit the bird bath.

When competing families arrive at the same time, a bit of arguing takes place.

Notice the look on the Yellow-faced Honeyeater on the left. They are the guardians of the bird bath and swoop in to scare other birds away. The Lewins Honeyeater was rather nonplussed at the Yellow-faced Honeyeaters presence.

The Silvereyes quite often arrive on mass

Looks like the White-throated Honeyeater is surrounded. One Yellow-faced Honeyeater has been in for a bath, no longer looking sleek.

I only just caught a Buff-rumped Thornbill who flew off before I could get set for another photo.

The Eastern Yellow Robin didn’t look pleased to have a post bath photo taken.

A typical stance of a Yellow-faced Honeyeater. The Eastern Yellow Robin didn’t care much while a White-throated Treecreeper waits his turn.

A Grey Fantail gets ready to get into the bird bath.

As usual, a White-throated Honeyeater waits out of sight when a gang of Yellow-faced Honeyeaters arrive at the bird bath.

I love the way the Treecreepers sit on the edge of the bird bath. He seems taken a back at the Yellow-faced Honeyeaters attitude.

Peace at last and time for a bath. Look at those feet, made for scaling vertical surfaces.

The White-throated Honeyeaters often arrive in numbers too.

How embarrassing seeing me like this the Eastern Yellow Robins seems to say as a flock of Silvereyes arrive.

The Red-browed Firetail Finch and Silvereye discuss their day while hanging around the bird bath.

The Eastern Spinebill was not sure about having a Yellow-faced Honeyeater at the bird bath.

The Noisy Friarbird isn’t the most handsome visitor to the bird bath

Pied Currawongs drop in from time to time. They have a disgusting habit of vomiting food pellets into the water before drinking necessitating in water changes.

The Female or Juvenile Satin Bowerbird love the bird bath.

They make a huge splash when the plop into the water.

The Male Satin Bowerbird is wonderful. The camera doesn’t quite catch the sheen and colour shifts from black to blue

The Rainbow Lorikeets are the most colourful visitors to the bird bath.

I hoped you enjoyed your visit to the bird bath. Did you have a favourite bird at the bird bath?
