Robert Donglan, Professor of Annagrammotology, is rudely awaken at his London apartment and escorted by police to the National Art Gallery of Fine Paintings.

Looking Up at Birds

Magpie-lark (female)
Keeping an eye on me…

Trying to find out what bird I’d taken a picture of, I found a handy site by the Australian Museum for identifying birds (see link below). I discovered that the above photo was one of a female Magpie-lark, which by the way has no link to magpies or larks. Ah, the wonders of the internet. Back when I was a young lass, I would have had to go to the library to go through all the books on birds and it would probably still have led to the photo being named “black and white bird”.
