Debbie’s One Word Sunday: Drink
The favourite spot on my place. I haven’t done any work down there for quite a while as after the fire of December 2019 it made me too sad to go down there.
Looking at these photos does bring back happy memories and a bit of motivation to see what work needs to be done.
It is good to share. A White-throated Honeyeater and a Yellow-faced Honeyeater
Just drink, don’t look at your reflection. Those rocks look slippery. A White-throated Honeyeater
A Fuscous Honeyeater sips
A Red-browed Firetail Finch get really into drinking
One month before the fire and a week after

Wonderful captures, hon! I especially like the little guy with the red splashes. What great company you keep!

That’s so sad about the devastation, but it’s amazing how nature bounces back and the wildlife with it. I hope the waterhole will flourish for a long time.

My fear is that gully erosion will have put a lot of silt and gravel in there.

Well, I hope it doesn’t impact the wildlife that use it.

It will take a bit of work Martin with machinery and chainsaws. As it is one of the only waterholes, the birds and animals will still be there 🙂

I’m lucky – I only have to take out a jug of water to top up the birdbath 😂

I love the athletics preformed to get a drink. I only do that after a drink!
I hope the damage isn’t as bad as you fear, Brian.

That I would even pay to see Debbie 😂😂
The recent floods and heavy rainfall would have probably exacerbated the waterhole I fear

It’s not easy drinking upside down (I know, I’ve tried). I love the first picture.

Amazing captures, Brian. I hope it doesn’t take too much to get the watering hole back enough for the wildlife to enjoy it again.
