Invasion of the Galahs

Suddenly the air was filled with pink and grey. All joselling for a few seeds left over from the possums visit the night before. I quickly put out some more seed and in they flew.

I guess there is still a scarcity of seed around for the birds since the fires.

You can see that some of the trees are putting out new green growth which is wonderful to see.
