We get a lot of Hummingbirds here. This year we had around 20 -25 of them zipping back and forth across our porch

We have Eastern Spinebills. They love the nectar producing fushia we have here in the garden plus the bottlebrush and red hot pokers when the little wattlebird isn't defending his territory.

This was a fledgling that was totally unafraid of new. I was able to just stand there and photograph it. Usually I see them come to the plants on the verandah that I keep there specifically for them.

Should have added - it drove our cats mad!! Two of them in particular. They sit on the table and just watch them zip back and forth. Lady, my cat, kept trying to bat them with her paw but didn't have a hope in hell. It was fun to watch them but they were so tormented and it was if the hummingbirds knew what they doing and havingfun teasing them

They are omnivores. They eat anything. they love nothing better than a yellow flower in the lawn! (Cape daisies).
The Cunningham's lizard is however vegetarian.

Went for a walk yesterday - looks like they’re getting the local natural ice rink ready! It’s built/maintained by volunteers.

The two blue streaks in the water were clear acrylic kayaks with LED lights in them, how neat!

We have a pair of resident Cunningham skinks living in the garage. Today one of them met our almost resident Eastern Shingleback who was wanting food again. Both eat there same seed. The skinks are vegetarians.

Do you put food out for them?

This pops up on my iPad, a picture I took of Soho in London 3 years ago, I think we went down here for a night show.

Do you put food out for them?

Normally, no because the chooks do that for me. They're very messy eaters and the sulphur cockatoo is even worse. But at the moment they chooks are being kept safe from the fox behind and poultry electric fence which means there's no food out. So I did put a handful of grain down for them. I figure you can't just stop their food source suddenly.

True, they wouldn't know what to do with here then gone.
