Not so welcome guest

For the first time in roughly 25 years I'm seeing Noisy Miners in the garden.  They are Australian Natives, but the ultimate bully in the bird world.  Once the miners take over, you really don't see much else, so I hope they flit off from whence they came.

In better news, I saw "my" kookaburras Elvis and Priscilla this afternoon.  Haven't seen them for months - not since before Christmas, so it's nice to know they are still around.
