Christmas Greetings and a Christmas Bird List
Christmas Greetings to all my readers.
I hope you had a great day. Here in my part of Australia in was 28C (82F), bright sunshine with not a cloud in the sky and a gentle breeze. It does not get much better than that. We had a quiet Christmas with just a few family members for a Christmas lunch. Didn’t do any serious birding and just casually observed or heard a few birds in the garden or on a short drive.
These common birds included:
- House Sparrow
- Common Starling
- Galah
- Common Blackbird
- Australian Magpie
- Australian Magpie Lark
- Little Raven
- New Holland Honeyeater
- Red Wattlebird
- Crested Pigeon
- Spotted Turtledove
- Willie Wagtail
- Singing Honeyeater
This is not an amazing list and these species are regularly present in our garden on a daily basis. Overall, I did observe that most birds were rather quiet all day. I guess that many of them were busy celebrating Christmas too.
