this one is for Claire

An Aussie bloggerfriend Claire of Sweet Birdy Love is in New York at the moment, suffering bad Vegemite withdrawal because, oh dear, she forgot to pack some.

While making brekky this morning, I thought of her.... and so, here you are Claire.... this one's for you:

... uh oh, guess who wanted to get into the act too !!

Enjoy your holiday Claire and cheers for now :D)

In My Garden Today

Joining in with Deb's Saturday Photo Scavenger Hunt - In My Garden Today... are birds.

First of all is this beautiful female Bower Bird who is a regular visitor to this part of my garden.

I think it's because of that blue pot. She's partial to the colour blue.

Apart from the fact that it matches her stunning blue eyes, she might be thinking it's a gift from her mate who woos her with gifts of blue items arranged perfectly within his bower. I hope to be fortunate enough to photograph it one day.

She also enjoys taking a drink from her own special blue bowl.

In another part of the garden, Mr and Mrs Blackbird have been tirelessly constructing a nest. The wind has been blowing strongly for most of this month so far, and we've watched them working hard.

We've left little offerings for their nest, which they've taken.

Here's a long distance shot I was able to get of their nest. It's in the Pineapple Feijoa tree, which is starting to blossom. It's a sturdy nest in the crook of the tree.
