Lost in Translation’s Pick a Word – March 2022
Paula’s words for March may be a little difficult to convert to photos so a bit of thinking will be required.
ASPEROUS – The rough bark of an Ironbark tree
CRUSTACEOUS – Soldier Crabs scuttling along the beach at low tide
EFFUSIVE – A Noisy Friarbird singing his heart out in the morning
MOUNTED – One of my quests is to photograph birds riding cows or horses. Willie Wagtail enjoying the backward view
TRIAD – Three Grey-crowned Babblers walking along the forest floor flicking over leaves and sticks looking for insects, all the while chattering away to each other
OK that was a bit of a search to find photos as close to Paula’s words as I could
The Ragtag daily Prompt Thursday: Pandemonium
Around this time every year pandemonium breaks out in the front yard.
For most of July the Blue-faced Honeyeaters are the boss of the Grevilleas, chasing all the smaller Honeyeaters – Yellow-faced Honeyeaters, Lewins Honeyeaters and the Eastern Spinebills, away from the flowers especially the Honey Gem Grevillea.
Then sometime in August, the Noisy Friarbirds arrive to set up camp, nesting and finding food. This leads to such a cacophony among the Grevilleas that one year I just had to record the Pandemonium. You will see that at times the Noisy Friarbird is carrying on and the Blue-faced Honeyeater doesn’t seem to care.
I hadn’t been using my camera for videos very much back then, so I apologise for the not so good video.
