Hello Everyone,

I wonder how much time it takes for gulls to preen themselves everyday, it's probably substantial. If they're not preening, gulls are bickering with one another or trying to grab each other's meal! I really do get a kick out watching them.

Thanks a million for stopping by and for leaving a comment. I do love hearing from you!

Have a fantastic day!

Dear all! I'm painfully behind right now due to other commitments. Hopefully I'll be catching up with you all very shortly 💕

Long-billed Corella (Cacatua tenuirostris)

One of a pair that were digging for graas seeds while I waited for the steam train this morning. You can see by the mud on its beak that the ground is very wet still.

PETER: (makes strange noises)

aahh...uuhh...pffff...

OLEG: (talks to himself)

What's that noise?

I hope Peter isn't in trouble again.

(Sees Peter standing in a deep hole)

Good heavens, Peter... what are you doing?

PETER:

Ugh... pfff... a... pfff... digging a hole... that ugh... pfff... as you see, Oleg.

OLEG:

But... why? I don't think Mummy Marian will like this.

PETER:

Ugh... pfff... well... Mummy Marian should be happy... pffff... about what I'm doing... pfff. There's... pffff.... a dead fly on the pffff... windowsill in the kitchen for a long time now. That's .... dis..dis..ou..... err.... pff.. not nice of her. I'm going to bury it now... pfff... in the... pfff... garden.

OLEG:

You're doing well, Peter, but you can't say that Mummy Marian isn't nice. She's busy as a grandmother with baby Rune.

PETER: (crying)

Sniff... I mean... sniff... it's not that I don't like Mummy Marian, Oleg... sniff...

I just feel so sorry for the fly... sniff...and...and...sniff...it deserves to be...sniff buried...sniff.

OLEG:

Don't cry, Peter...I know you mean well.

Come on, I'll help you bury the fly.

PETER:

Oleg... Would you like to make a wooden cross for the grave?

OLEG:

Well... um... I'll see what I can do.

PETER:

Thank you, Oleg (gives Oleg a snuffly kiss).

Imagine if you will being a miner and listening to this drill digging away at the rock underground. Often these fellas had no ear protection and got all sorts of problems with grip because of the constant vibrations of the machinery

He was digging a hole to sit in.

He was watching me all of the time.

And the hole is still there.

I rarely ever stick with a look for very long, but this is a fave. Too lazy to edit this in anyway.

Silvereye (Zosterops lateralis)

The pair of Silvereyes have visited several times over the past few days to feast on the Loquats.

I am running late today as we have some plastering being done in the house. I will catch up as I am able.

Happy Wing Wednesday!
