I used to think all our native birds were grey or brown.

When I was a kid, I thought colourful birds were all in other places,

that all our birds were a kind of duckedimud colour. Nowaday I see

colourful birds all the time. Nothing has changed except my sight.

("None so blind...," hey?)



We spent the weekend out of town and noticed lots of high-saturation

birds, including this yellow warbler in the apple tree.



This is about a thirtieth of the entire frame.
