birds birds birds

this year i bought a pair of binoculars and went on a bush walk with mum in search for some birds. we had no idea what we were doing, but we knew we wanted to see, listen and identify birds we came across.

our first bird was magical. we watched as a small, brownish bird sat in the trees singing songs. it had a patch of darker brown under it's beak which made it look like it was yawning haha.
we stood there for so long, all giddy and excited. this bird was an eastern spinebill.

since then we were hooked. we were officially birders.
