A little bit of this and a little bit of that!!

This photo was taken looking over Springbrook farm dam towards our house,
the peace is tangible and the paddocks still brown from frost during the winter.
Living on this dairy farm has some amazing advantages, milk straight from the cow,
fresh home made yoghurt and of course many hectare to spend time birding,
walking and just being quiet.

During the past weekend it was not very quiet at 6am:

There are three pairs of Spoonbill nesting in my garden;

yesterday this one decided it needed some new
nesting material, it flew down onto my lawn,

picked up this stick which proved rather large and very

comical, every time the bird moved the stick ‘attacked’ the bird.

Here is a pic through my office window of one very frustrated

Spoonbill trying to run away from the stick.
