A young red squirrel kit foraging about in the autumn leaves and caching hazelnuts and acorns in preparation for the winter ahead. Looking at it's size and appearance it is likely to be one of this years kits from early spring.
We have had over 30C of snow and -25C weather and yet 5 Robins showed up in our yard eating ornamental berries from the trees. I guess they forgot to go south.,
Well old man winter has finally made his way to my home. Was enjoying the springlike temperatures of the past few days, but everything looked so bleak and dead. This new blanket of white adds a certain seasonal beauty to my surroundings.

The red fody (Foudia madagascariensis), sometimes known as the Madagascar fody, red cardinal fody or common fody, is a small bird native to Madagascar and introduced to various other islands in the Indian Ocean. It is a common bird within its restricted range, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as being of "least concern".
In 1760 the French zoologist Mathurin Jacques Brisson included a description of the red fody in his Ornithologie based on a specimen collected in Madagascar. He used the French name Le cardinal de Madagascar and the Latin Cardinalis Madagascariensis.[2] Although Brisson coined Latin names, these do not conform to the binomial system and are not recognised by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature.[3] When in 1766 the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus updated his Systema Naturae for the twelfth edition, he added 240 species that had been previously described by Brisson.[3] One of these was the red fody. Linnaeus included a brief description, coined the binomial name Loxia madagascariensis and cited Brisson's work.[4] This species is now placed in the genus Foudia that was introduced by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach in 1850.[5] The type species was subsequently designated as the red fody.[6] The species is monotypic.[7]
The English word "fody" and the name of the genus Foudia are from the Madagascan name for the red fody Foudi or Fodi.[8]
Description
The red fody is about 5 inches (13 cm) in length and weighs 14–19 grams (0.49–0.67 oz). The male of the species is bright red with black markings around each eye. Its wings and tail are olive-brown. Its underparts are also red, which distinguishes it from other fodies in areas where it has been introduced. The female fody's upper parts are olive-brown and its underparts are greyish brown.[9]
Distribution and habitat
It is a common bird found in forest clearings, grasslands and cultivated areas, but not in dense forest. In Madagascar it is regarded as a pest of rice cultivation. It has been introduced to other areas of the Indian Ocean, included the Amirantes, Comoros, Seychelles, Mauritius and Réunion.[9]

Red reflections.
In a garden in Bowral there are 75,000 Tulips planted to celebrate the coming of spring.
The night before however the area was deluged by torrential rain which resulted in large puddles being created which in turn created this beautiful reflection of red tulips.
