M o r n i n g!!
Posted by Linerberry (Christchurch, New Zealand) on 17 October 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.
Its amazing what you find when having a quiet game of golf....this fella was making one heck of a noise at the 2nd hole!!! I couldn't see him at first until I followed the noise and found him hiding in the bushes! My golf mates just lauged and said...there she is again off with the camera!! He was not at all disturbed by me and actually seemed to go for a pose when I donned my camera. It was 10.30am so what the heck he was doing singing the 'dawn chorus' I'll never know lol!! A handsome fello:-)
Don't forget****** "Silly Tuesday" ******where you can post anything that is silly, funny, daft or just makes you laugh!!!
For those of you that don't know the origin of Silly Tuesday here is a bit if a run down....It started on this day. My thoughts were as follows......
Monday is the start of the week...
Wednesday is the middle of the week.....
Thursday is nearly Friday and Friday is the start of the weekend:-)
I know some people work weekends as I am one of them:-)
But its still the weekend BUT......
What is Tuesday???? Its just a Silly Day that means nothing....so thats where ST came from:-)
Join in the Silliness:-)
Love Silly Mama:-)
If you post on ST then leave a link on my page then others get to see your silliness:-)

...far out Liners you are damn hilarious girl, I can see you ...on the second hole.. "hang on a minute" runs off, fighting back the trees to find the culprit of the noise... "right you, what time do you think this is then? Go on, srike a pose".... hahahaa. I am at work KILLING myself laughing. Ok, I have regained some decorum, this is a great image, you have captured him well, he seems a little suprised at your entrance, but I think this suits the image so well... but I must say today your narrative is priceless, thanks so much for a great laugh... you are a funny girl Chuck! Have a great weekend!

jamesy from christchurch, New Zealand
Great shot Liners and I thought you were continuing with the early morning theme. Was this the round of golf when you were supposed to be somewhere else? only joking LOL

@jamesy: Hi Deb...sorry for the sudden change in direction@^#@&%$#*! And yes this is the game of golf when i was supposed to be at your house....I will admit to my disgrace but I will also in my defence say we were going to do work related stuff...however if I had known you liked golf you would heve been with me that day.!!! I recon next time we plan to do work stuff we just have a round of golf instead...what do you think????

Perhaps he is wondering where the road went...
Very unexpected find on a golf course. Good-on-you for bringing your camera along with you for the game!

@kylie: Thanks Kylie:-)) Its taken me a while to get used to taking my camera everywhere but I can't go without it now!!!! Its not easy on a busy golf course cos one gets frowned at for running off the green to take a shot lol....but its great fun. Will have to take you there when you visit home again!
Philip from Joburg, South Africa

They are a pain in the @#$! especially the one from the neighbors with his wake-up call in the early morning! Before we moved here I didn't know they like to sit in trees, very amazing to see! Hope he doesn't get hit by a golf ball! Funny picture Liner and very colorful!

KZC from Sydney, Australia
Do you think your he was planted by the person you were playing to try to disturb your shot or was he looking for a safe place to hide?
Truely amazing shot - A chook up a tree !!!

hEHEHE great story and resulting shot! I love the way they like to roost in trees and i would say he has been living in the wild for some time,his hen would not be far away!

He sure looks like he is posing for you, laughing here imagining a group of following golfers wondering why instead of teeing off on the 2nd one of the group before them has raced off into the bush LOL

Oh! A rooster in a tree? This is such a cool and odd shot as for all of my life I have been led to believe that chickens and rooster don't really fly as other birds do.
This is cool!

hahhaha -- he was trying to get you off your game! ;) i think he was hired by the competition! a beautiful shot -- and yes, these guys can be awfully loud and noisy when they want to be! somehow they have figured out that it doesn't have to be sunrise in order to make a ruckus!!
