As Monty Python might say: 'And now for something completely different'. This little handmade needle-felted sheep is a new acquisition who has joined my growing collection of 'things to photograph in places'. He was created from a combination of white Bluefaced Leicester, Shetland and Herdwick wools. I've called him Dave. No reason. Why not? Thankfully, Lucy decided he wasn't very interesting. :))
Taken from our front verandah. Extra pics in comments.
The Blue-faced Honeyeater is a large black, white and golden olive-green honeyeater with striking blue skin around the yellow to white eye. The crown, face and neck are black, with a narrow white band across the back of the neck. The upperparts and wings are a golden olive green, and the underparts are white, with a grey-black throat and upper breast. The blue facial skin is two-toned, with the lower half a brilliant cobalt blue. Juvenile birds are similar to the adults but the facial skin is yellow-green and the bib is a lighter grey. This honeyeater is noisy and gregarious, and is usually seen in pairs or small flocks. It is known as the Banana-bird in tropical areas, for its habit of feeding on banana fruit and flowers.
