After 24 hours of steady (and welcome) rain, the skies cleared and I took Wally for an early morning walk around Nexen Beach. The birds were obviously hungery (probably didn’t get to feed much yesterday) and were out in numbers – I saw a lot more than I was able to take photos of – the most colourful being the lovely yellow and black American Goldfinch – unfortunately it was too quick for me to get a shot. A few of the birds I was able to take a picture of can be seen by clicking this link or the photo to the right.
