Several weeks ago, I was approached by the printer that does my Dandenong Ranges Calendar to see if I could contribute some wildlife images for a fundraiser calendar that they were doing, partnered with Wildlife Victoria.

Perched in the Photinia Tree
These birds are regular visitors to our garden. In fact, I believe they live on our property although I haven’t actually seen their nest.
