Re: Anyone into birds?
I have a couple of pics from when we went to Stradbroke Island a couple of weeks ago.
Not so exotic I suppose but there were a lovely lot of birds from all over the place.

Someone is getting the evil eye it seems, and that someone could be me. He/she just flew up landed on the branch and almost dared me to take the shot. 
Although reduced for web viewing this shot is not cropped.

clearly the new specs are working
You have gotta love parrots, even little Derek, the house budgie is clearly very clever.

Re: Anyone into birds?
Nope.
Carrying my laptop out to the deck is too fiddly.
(although I did do it for the snow pictures 2014/15...I suspect a bird may fly away
)
I do have a digital camera somewhere but way too involved and almost impossible to hold steady when clicking.

Re: Anyone into birds?
There's a cardinal, well a pair of them, but one of them is fire engine bright red. They've both been flying around the block the last week.
It walked along the neighbours fence as I headed out to pick the little up from dance class.
Teasing me as I didn't have my camera.
They scarper the second they see me with my camera but hang around for ages when I don't have it.

The males are red, the females are sort of beige.
