Wildlife: Firetail Finches

Finches at Middle Path





Firetail Finches or Red-browed Finches ~ Neochimia temporalis
The feeder is usually a social gathering point for Firetail Finches
as the flock works its way along the daily itinerary.

During feeding some birds are always scanning for threats between beakfulls

Fairly strict pecking orders are loosely enforced

Sometimes you've just gotta get down to get dirt-free

Another small bird which seems to be a seasonal visitor is the Chestnut breasted Mannikin - Lonchura Castaneothorax - they show no concern at sharing the feeders with the locals.
