One day a lovable eccentric, the next day a (loud) birden to my friends...

“Birds will always sing a song for those that they love.”

Anthony T. Hincks

A very loud bird has taken up residence in the tree on the southern side of our house. And when we say "loud" we mean the following:

We think it is a grey shrike-thrush (pictured), but really we have no idea - maybe it's a relative of big bird from Sesame Street!

The local birdsong, frogsong, etc is amazing - so many different species and such a wonderful backdrop in both colour and sound to our lives here.

Speaking of colour, here is Kym with a lovely bowl of new season strawberries straight from our garden, and also a wonderful vase filled with flowers reflecting the season.

Thanks Spring!

This weekend we hosted Peter from Canberra who, like most visitors, slept, ate, drank, laughed, conversed and ultimately left refreshed and reinvigorated for the daily challenges of life - thanks Peter we loved having you here.

Take care y'all and if you can identify the songmeister above, then please let us know.
