Sunshine Coast Garden Birdbath

White-headed Pigeon

It has been exceptionally dry on the Sunshine Coast, with very little rain over the summer months - usually the wettest time of the year. So well-placed birdbaths in the garden are proving to be particularly popular at the moment. Here is a selection of birds which have visited the two birdbaths in my garden at Ninderry over the past couple of days. The birds can be conveniently and nonchalantly photographed from the back porch. Some of the birds look fluffed up because they have had a bath and are shaking loose the water. White-headed Pigeon is one of my favourites.
