Show of with Breakfast

I was going to claim these pics as mine, but have discovered they were taken by my wife so I can not take the credit.
On visiting Prince Henry Drive  South Queensland,


one day we found this fellow showing of his catch of the day.
He was not concerned that we watched him for some time.
The poor Green  tree Frog had no chance as he was flogged to death on the branch.
Such is nature.

Unusual visitor

This Young Black-eared Cuckoo arrived in our backyard in January 2014. He stayed for a few hours eating bugs of an Illawarra Flame tree.
We have not seen him again unfortunately.
A short but sweet visit.

Bird in a storm

This Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike showed us how to shower in a Storm.
 We thought he was  worth a posting.
