I frequently see these birds in this area although they don't always sit where I can get photos.
Have a look at the Bird Photography Weekly site.

White-breasted Woodswallow
I was on an early morning walk along the bayside when this White-breasted Woodswallow (Artamus leucorhynchus) obligingly posed on the branch of a dead tree. At this hour of the morning the sky seems such an intense blue but without the glare of later in the day.

I love the way they always huddle up together. One of our techies looked after a woodswallow that had collided with something or other and need some TLC for a while. While she was doing paperwork, she would sit with her free hand in the cage so the bird has something to cooch up next to.
ReplyDeleteHi Snail, I have seen them all huddled together when they are roosting but had no idea that they would transfer that to a carer! Really nice story, thanks.
ReplyDeleteNice catch - I particularly like that third shot.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mosura - it really looks like togetherness I think.
ReplyDeleteMe too for the third one, beaut pose by beaut birds.
ReplyDeleteThanks Duncan
ReplyDeleteNice catch.
ReplyDeleteI got lots of dusky woodswallows at dawn in St.George.
Was a bit surprised to see them feeding on Gum blossoms.
Great shots! I would love to see these someday.
ReplyDeleteYes, the 3rd shoot is my pick.
ReplyDeleteHi Mick
ReplyDeleteThey are such nicely designed birds - very Art Deco in style, I always think.
Lovely photos. I agree with the others re photo 3.

Thanks for your comments Arija, Birdfreak, Tabib and Denis. I like your idea, Denis, that they have an 'art deco' style.
