in the songlines (13) - a photo on Flickriver

            Usually in winter, I  photograph birds outside,  but the kowhai tree flowering last spring was incredible...   and the best view is from inside, where it's elevated and  I can photograph straight into the tree.  So I spent some time photographing through double glazing!  Not my favourite glass... but...  the glimpse into birdworld was too strong to resist :-)  

Silvereyes are very communal birds, often visiting in small family groups and pairs. Some preening pairs are family,  some couples, and some just dating ;-)  If one preens too roughly the moment is soon over!

I glimpsed this pair through my lcd quite far back in the tree... I didn't see them at all with my bare eyes.  They were there maybe only a minute, but seeing minutes like these makes a lot of happiness :-)

Here's to the world beyond the window... 
and to moments of joy 🌼

whether quiet or aloud
my thanks for being here 
on the other side of the glass!! :-)
