My farm is truly blessed

Pied Currawong
When this chap came to visit, I at
first thought he was a Magpie but
not so. His body is completely black,
with a white tip on the tail, a white
tip on his wings and he has a white
rump. His eyes are a penetrating
yellow. He really is a stunning
looking character.
At first, he was very shy, and I spent
weeks attempting to get close
enough to photograph him. Now
he flies in morning and night, and
although he is still a little timid, he's
becoming more courageous each
day. At least I have managed to get
a picture for you. I always know
when he's about, as his song is
most melodic.
I find it very hard to believe that I
have become a stalker of birds!
But I truly love it, I find them
completely fascinating.
