what sort of camera

While it may be genuine.. this could also be a good example of digital manipulation.
Some of the digital stuff that pops up on my art feeds is amazing.. and a bit disappointing at the same time as AI takes over from humans
 
That was from my twitter feed. I follow a couple of birders.
But this one is from this morning on my iPhone. He visited yesterday so today weeding in the same spot so I was ready.

Now I know he didn’t come because of me but when weeding I disturb the insects so he has a buffet.
 
One of my butcher birds learnt a new trick this morning. Final clean up in the garden before taking off tomorrow. I clean up the fallen frangipani leaves to reduce the fungus that they get. So mum came down with her baby. As I took a leaf caught in the Geraldton wax a grasshopper took off and caught by mum. Same thing happened with the gardenias.
So a bit later I was observed removing dead leaves that were caught in the frangipani. I noticed a lot more leaves falling. Looked up and there’s mum flipping the dead leaves off the branches and the young one below catching insects.

These guys currently have me trapped inside. I went outside when they were happily chomping on a little tomato I had growing in the courtyard but they were completely unafraid and just came up to me looking for more.

I went inside and one actually followed me there and I had to toss out a bit of bread for him to leave. ( I know bread isn’t good for them but this was kind of important right then.)

They are now patrolling just outside my door looking through the glass.

Those two have taken to loitering on my courtyard deck most evenings at about five pm.

This evening as I opened the door to go out one landed on my arm ( uninvited) and the other one looked on.

Then one on my shoulder and one on my arm. Hard to take a pic!

Finally established some order.
