Peewee chorus

February 7th, 2010


We have a breeding family of Peewees (Grallina cyanoleuca) in our back yard. The colloquial name comes from their call. In the peculiarly Australian way they are also known as Magpie-larks as they are related to neither magpies nor larks. Our pair currently have three young.

When feeding the chooks yesterday I noticed them all sitting on the overhead cables so raced inside to get my camera and long lens. I was lucky enough to catch them being feed.



All shot on a Canon 7D with a Canon EF 70-200mm.
