Australia - Six states..and that funny little island.

Just went over to put everyone to bed and found 3 x bearded partridge silkies hatched, one has a vaulted skull. Very cute , when my camera gets back from WA I will get some pics.
So frustrating , not having the camera , this morning there were a pair of swans right in front of the house with 4 x fluffy cygnets. I guess I'll just have to keep it stored in the memory bank. Spring is in the air.

Grats on your hatch, Oh to see swans outside would be amazing.

Thanks , satay. Hope to have a camera in hand next time. Took some pics of the chicks with my iPhone . But nowhere near the quality of the " good old " cannon. We had thunder and lightening here at 4 am, now it's raining " again ". Lucky I got the lawns done yesterday.

I have so forgotten what real rain is like. We got a shower on Saturday but it was that light I had to have the sprinklers still going on my fruit trees at the same time.

I am only half way through mowing my huge block and they are forecasting rain for today Mind you, there is not one cloud in the sky at the moment lol And to make it worse, I am not going to be home this morning to get it finished in case it does
Oh well, corn will be happy and so will my water tanks

That's usually when it rains here Sandeec when I am half way through mowing and then you have to wait a few days to mow and you are back to starting all over again lol. Mind you I don't think I have had to mow at all since about May.

This looks the quail we have here in the front paddocks. Our driveway is 300 m long and one frosty morn I was taking the kids to school, got half way down the drive and there was , what looked like , a big rock in the middle of the drive. Far too big to drive over. So I got out to move it. As I got closer they rolled off one at a time and ran into the long grass. It was a mound of quail all laying on top of each other keeping warm. I just stood there scratching my head.

Thinking of starting and Aussie eggs swap. I'll start a new page with info on it and post the link here to see if we get any interest.
