Bird friendly garden design

While living in Canberra I used to get such pleasure from watching the antics of birds in my garden. Not only were they a source of creative inspiration but, because I often worked from home, often they were my only company during the day : )

That is why I 'm pleased that the people at Birds in Backyards have created a photo gallery of bird attracting gardens (examples below) and useful DIY videos. Click here to see more.

Visitors to my Garden ... well my powerlines mostly.

Some weeks ago Luke and I moved into a house a few blocks from Canberra's Mt Majura reserve. I still cannot get over the number and variety of feathered visitors we receive on a daily basis. I keep my camera ready in the kitchen, here are a few of my shots ...
