This bird was feeding on the lawns of the Botanic Gardens in Melbourne. I noticed it was picking and eating the daisies that flourish in the grass near the lakes. It was all rather charming.
Sorry for not visiting blogs over the last couple of weeks. A mistaken, but thankfully not long term, return to the world of paid employment has kept me rather too busy for my liking. Normal service will resume soon!

ReplyDeleteGetting in its spring greens! Sweet shots. YAM xx
What a lovely observation! The Dusky Moorhen sounds like a fascinating bird, and it’s delightful to see it foraging for daisies in the Botanic Gardens. It's great that you captured this charming moment; it really highlights the beauty of nature in urban settings!
ReplyDeleteGreat spotting of the Dusky Moorhen!
ReplyDeleteIt’s a beauty and has good taste…
ReplyDeleteI believe I have met this bird before. Cute pictures Stewart.
ReplyDelete"Please Don't Eat the Daisies." That was a book title. Maybe even a movie, I'm not sure.
ReplyDeleteWe have seen Moorhens in Florida and other places, I think they are about the same. They do make a funny noise and are such a surprise when the red pops up in the marshes.
ReplyDeleteGood shots Stewart Thanks for hosting and commenting. Thought you might like the planes from Monday's post this week. Have a good week ahead
