Surprise visitor

 My son called out there was a turtle in our driveway.

"Surely you mean a tortoise," I asked.

"Don't call me Shirley," he replied.

One of those reminders that our suburb was reclaimed from a swamp and it's great to see a living example, given the number of trucks that travel through Willimbong.

Look out for reptiles!

Swallowtail on saltbush

 

Crow family

These birds visit my backyard a couple of times a day

I suspect we're on the map for the chicken scraps that end up on the compost after I make stock.

The youngest bird has taken to cawing at the backdoor when there isn't anything to eat!
