How come they are all on your lawn Hughie, do you have special grass? There's not a bird on any of the other lawns!
Jean,
We had the turf put down when we moved in 17 years ago. So, yes there seems to be a strain of grass in the mixture that seems to attract native birds. The Corellas are incredibly noisy birds in the early evening. A of the hands and they are gone - but are soon back.
It's low maintenance, Brian. I have a lawnmower which I don't have to push and a battery driven edger, trimmer and blower. I probably spend an hour each week - I look on it as a bit of a therapy break.
Johnboy my Kilwinkie pal has moved down the other side of the city, nearer his son.
This was actually before my morning walk. managed to save this spider from the kitchen bench before the wife spotted it.... eeek! Managed to capture it uninjured and put it out the back door. Oor dear Morag would be proud of me - miss that lassie. Oh! Those are mini tomatoes.
Jeez thats a horror. Hope Betty didn't see it. Was it inside the pack of tomatoes? Or did it get into your house someway? I think living in Australia has its pro's and cons!
The other day I missed a great chance to snap a squadron of our local Pelicans flying over the house as they sometimes do. Anyway I caught this one on my morning walk near us yesterday - it wasn't going anywhere.
Portarlington / Melbourne Ferry waiting for the city's lock-down to be lifted. when that happens then our son's inner Melbourne based family can visit. We've been pretty open where we are by comparison - our other offspring are like us and live in regional Victoria and have been able to visit with us.
The second image is where I have a wee rest on my morning walk, and although its nothing like the size of Arran the view reminds me of home.
