When you’re on a good thing …

When you have access to an ideal tree hollow, why change from year to year – which is exactly what a pair of Galahs has decided on our roadside. They have nested in the same hollow in an old Yellow Box at almost the same time as last year.

The Galah is one of 52 birds chosen by BirdLife Australia for inclusion in a poll to decide Australia’s favourite bird, as part of this year’s Bird Week celebrations starting on 19th October. You can cast a vote for your favourite bird at http://www.australiasfavouritebird.org.au/. Some of the birds included in the list of candidates have been photographed locally and are shown below.

We find it hard to select one particular ‘favourite’ bird, but the gorgeous Galah would have to be well in the running.
