Birds and more birds...








We have been enjoying the many different types of birds that visit our new garden, and our favourites so far as the little colourful sunbirds that enjoy the flowers right next to the house. The males are a brilliant blue, purple and yellow and one, in particular, is fascinated with our television room. He actually flew right into the house on Wednesday and explored a bit. We are really hoping that Ginger and Pepper don't take too much of a keen interest in our new feathered friends. Also, at school, there is a pair of spotted Eagle Owls roosting in a tree, keeping a close eye on their owlet who is sheltered in a nearby tree. Some middle school students have created an owl viewing platform outside of their classroom. Hands-on education like that is pretty wonderful.
