There are now three trees next to the river that contain nesting Lorikeets. This pair quite happily posed for pictures.
Curiously the base of this tree (and the other two nesting trees) were wrapped in heavy clear plastic sheets. I can only presume this is to discourage possums from climbing these trees while the birds are nesting.
This American Robin made her nest on top of an outdoor light on a house. I will be keeping a eye on her.
"Goodnight Gorilla" nesting puppets. Each puppet stacks inside a bigger one, made from fabric scraps. "Goodnight Gorilla" is by Peggy Rathmann. The stacking puppets are my original idea.

Janice and I were thrilled to watch the construction of about eight nests as blue heron couples tore twigs from treetops and wove their nurseries, far above our heads. We wished we could have had a higher vantage point!

I can take commissions for custom nesting dolls :)
I went to Banner Marsh this morning to look for the swans. I found them, which was exciting, but they were really far off. I also found a nice little cluster of Mudhens, but they were very uninterested in being photographed.
I've never seen the water as choppy as it was today. Lots of wind.

If you ever came into my home
you would know just how VERY tidy and clean I am !!!!!
To say I have OCD would be rather OTT
as I do not have any strange habits
and being tidy does not rule my life
but let's just say there kind of is a rule .....
Day One ..... Relax and Create one hell of a mess .....
usually due to experimenting with new creations
or having a total veg out, pig out and chill out
Day Two ..... Notice the 'One hell of a mess'
and remarkably add to it ten fold as I am usually too lazy to tidy up
Day Three ..... start to twitch ..... not literally
which leads me to go crazy and cleeeeean to my heart's content.
I have to say
I have a love hate relationship with my tidiness
and ride the wave of chaos until my nest is shining again
everything in it's place
yes ..... wardrobe colour co-ordinated and CD's on alphabetical order
and then I feel
calm
