Just a few pictures taken over the last few weeks.

The black blob in the pool is a bird!

Firstly, a kookaburra using our pool to  have a bath!

Now it’s flying out.

Next, Sunday breakfast last weekend – summer has arrived.  Avocado with lemon juice and black pepper, on toast.

Note the ten cent piece for scale – it is 23mm diameter

All Brit.s idea of a typical scene in the Australian garden – this is a redback spider which I found under the lid of the pool-cleaning mechanism when I went to clean out the leaves there.

On the other hand, this could almost be an English scene, apart from the fact that this blackbird has made its nest in an orchid.

Blackbirds are introduced – feral – animals in Australia.
