無

  Woke up in the tent, I heard the birds singing. There was an outstanding call attracted me to leave my sleeping bag in such a freezing morning. I brought my camera and went to find the bird. I found it but it was very high in the tree so I couldn’t see it clearly. It didn’t disappoint me because I took great pictures of starlings. They looked gorgeous this time. The first time I knew starlings was in Opotiki. They looked aggressive. Their call sounded like the bombs were tossed in the sky. When there were lots of starlings singing at dusk, it sounded like the mini war.
 

在澳洲我最愛的鳥之ㄧ, Crested Tern, 第一次見到牠是在Cooktown的碼頭, 灰濛濛的雨景中牠佇立在突出海平面的木樁上,
身體中段淺灰色的羽毛好像一朵灰雲, 淡黃色的鳥喙堅毅地緊閉著, 頭頂抹了髮雕的黑色crest看起來很帥.
下次見面是和Sam跟Jill去釣魚, 牠也在海邊捕魚, 原來牠是隻海鳥, 難怪看起來這樣滄鬱.

很多在地上走路, 有著尖尖鳥喙, 腳掌像雞爪的鳥都會被我們叫雞.
這隻Australian White Ibis 特徵明顯, 黑臉, 長長的黑喙, 看起來像胄甲, 白色羽毛, 尾巴黑色, 黑色像胄甲的腳.
 

 
 
 
 

在澳洲, 烏鴉也是令人印象深刻, 如果海鷗是白色的強盜, 烏鴉就是黑色的小偷.
有一次在Mokey Mia我們把行李擱在一張木桌上, 我們賴以維生的吐司也在桌上,
然後繞了一圈Park找lift, 無功而返, 煩惱之際看見木桌上有一隻烏鴉大啖吐司,
我們腎上腺素激增, 邊揮手衝過去趕走烏鴉, 捍衛我們的食物, 真是可惡!
不過就在跑過去的同時看見一台Van裡面一對夫婦竟在看好戲, 讓烏鴉吃吐司吃得津津有味,
還沒有把牠趕走, 是不幸, 是幸, 問了一大圈lift, 結果因為烏鴉而結緣的夫婦給我們lift.
 

 
在許多澳洲的影片當中會聽到烏鴉的叫聲, 啊!啊!啊~~~, 在當地烏鴉的叫聲更是淒厲, 好像在哭夭...在沙漠裡烏鴉的叫聲更添加荒涼的感受.
