A Wallaby and a washed window.

I washed the window in our front door yesterday. It wasn’t a burst of spring cleaning. It wasn’t because I had suddenly morphed into the housework robot. It was so I could take clearer photos of the Superb Fairy Wrens that have decided that particular window is their favourite perch.

It was this particular shot that inspired me to break out the spray bottle and wash the window.

There are dots and smudgy bits all through the photo. This is the window that  David likes to write on with his nose, there were smudgy heart shaped blurs all through the shot but I managed to crop the worst of them out.

So in order to get a better bird photo I quickly washed the window. All the while hoping that I wouldn’t get sprung by The Spouse, because then he would guilt me into washing  the rest of the bloody things.

My housewifely diligence paid off this morning when I looked out the sparkly window and saw a female wallaby eating the grass under the clothesline.

I managed to get a dozen or so good clear shots through the window, of this female Bennetts Wallaby before the chooks wandered up to see what she was eating and scared her off. These photos haven’t been edited at all apart from some slight cropping.

I might have to wash another window later on today because these Green Rosellas have been perching on the balcony railing.

Luckily for me the door was open, so I very quietly stuck my arm out the door and by pure chance managed to get two decent shots. Yay!

If the door hadn’t been open I would have had to shoot through this window and the shots would have been very fuzzy.
