Surprise Visitor

A male bellbird feeding on the nectar of the Fuchsia flowers. Sorry about the poor quality. The shot was taken through a rain-wet window and the auto focus was more intent on the bright flowers than the drab bird. He was moving about very quickly. Still I got his red eye. This is the bird that has the glorious bell-like song.

Lockdown Day 2: Started out as a nearly normal Friday, but by late afternoon I saw the difference that the lockdown is causing elsewhere. Usually there are hundreds of vehicles, many loaded with bikes, kayaks etc., heading west to the mountains, lakes and West Coast for the weekend. Today the road is quiet, with hardly a car.
