Just an Ordinary Day

Walking into the study this morning, I opened the window, sat down at the desk and clicked on my blog link to view any new comments:

:eyes:

Suddenly I heard a terrible sound. "ZWEET, ZWEET, ZWAYT!!!! ZWEET, ZWEET, ZWAYT!!!!"

:eyes:

"woot the heck???"

I look up and to the left, out the window….

(as you can see the moles are now killing the grass which has solved the rampant problem but not the death one)

I spy a strange bird in the tree.

"Woot the HECK are YOU??"

Funny little bird, half bald, grey head, patchy feathers, sticking out all over, looking crazy..squawking madly, frantically…rufous(red) back and longish tail. Then a bigger bird joined him, and they both flew quickly away…with an insect in the beak of the older one….ahhhh? HUH? hmm…

I grab my bird book. (Yes I have a bird book-two really, Sasol and Roberts.) I'm not the "twitcher" I once was, but I'm still one. 😀

Thumbing through it I find this little guy:

I'ts a Paradise Flycatcher! The one I saw must have been a juvenile, what with all those feathers sprouting about his head. I've only ever seen an adult bird and only a handful of times. But they're not resident here, only a summer visitor. So I was pleased to know that they're visiting me. 😀

meanwhile some strange sunsets again:

…and just enjoying home :D:

Have a ZWEET-ZWEET-ZWAYT day, everybody!

Love
