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.

oh my gosh! this city girl (well sort of, i hate the city) is mighty envious of all the wild things. i’m looking forward to the day i can pack up and move back to a place that is actually dark at night, and has more animals than pigeons and raccoons around. thanks for these photo’s. those fairy wrens are so cute and dainty!
I like your wallaby, although I’m still pleased I don’t have them here.
Beautiful shots!!
I want to come live with you. 😉
I love the Green Rosellas! And a great shot of them.
You are a great window washer…. but I am like you – you could plant seeds on my TV screen! When you live in the wilderness, it tends to invade the house… and there are really much nicer things to do than house**** 🙂 Like enjoy Mother Nature. Thanks for sharing the pics
I love the flora and fauna you get in your yard. If I ever make it to Tassie, I’m visiting you for sure. With my camera of course.
I haven’t washed my windows since last spring…..
Gorgeous photos, all of them! I can’t believe you get wallabies in your garden… just not something you think about over here at all! lol 🙂
lol at what Marylin said – very true.
I love your pictures but I wish you’d left the heart shape smudges – i think that would have worked!
Wow, weird cat.
Aaaawww!!!
OOOh my god, this would inspire me too to wash the windows! They’re CUTE!! All of them!
Brilliant pics.. As you welcome spring our nights are drawing in ready for autumn.
Those were so amazing! Thank you so much for sharing.
love it
LOL about the window washing! Hope you are getting some lovely weather along with the birds. We are looking at 30 here on the weekend.
wonderful pics!!!
love the fairy wrens!!
Those birds are gorgeous! What a cute, cuddly wallaby–minus the razor sharp claws!
I wish I had the words to tell you how much I enjoyed the pics, esp. of the birds. That was just so beautiful. You just can’t pose them better. Sweet stuff.
Again I tell you have amazing nature and animals around you:) Enjoy all of your photos!
