MJ's little flock

That's how sparrows work. The getting out part never occurs to them.

Have they not heard of a Gantt chart? Or a critical path?? Sheesh

I haven’t.

I haven’t.

Just a couple of dull project management techniques

By the way, I went to get groceries and while I was out, a sparrow got in to the funrun

The bits at my place smell strongly eucalypt, not lemony. Does that help?

Honestly MJ, without me being there with an identification guide, I really have no chance of identifying the species.

Google tells me that there are over 700 species of Eucalyptus.
I was just happy with your ID of it being a Eucalyptus.

When I was trying to identify the Blues Gums I planted as unnamed seedlings, the book I used started with the type of bark and went through all the characteristics of the tree finally getting to the structure of the flower for some species. Nomenclature can be very interesting but you need to be a bit of a detective! I still have trouble with the difference between a bottle brush (Callistemon) and a Melaleuca. (It's in the way the stamens are arranged. You need to look at them with a handy dandy pocket magnifier)

Sorry for the lecture.... I love Aussie natives.

Me neither

Oh! I've remembered it used to grow red stameny flowers, like a bottle brush but just one row of stamens and a much deeper red.

Sounds lovely, but doesn't help much I'm afraid.

Edit: If there are any others of the same type on the street or if the leaves and gumnuts on the branches you brought into the funrun haven't withered yet you could try using Google Lens to identify it.

Now why didn't I think of that before?

Today's breakfast is the same as yesterday's except those are Peggy's eggs and that's the cup I got from Fortnum & Mason a couple of years ago.
