I have been flat out working on my bird book this week. I have around 95% of the first-draft text, and all but two photographs ready. I must get off my butt and go track down a flock of galahs sometime in the next two weeks, as I really would like to include a photo of one in the book. Additionally, a pelican would be rather cool, so i expect to be aiming my feet towards the hearbor again this weekend.
The weather has definitely cheered up, with a burst of early spring appearing recently. I have been sitting on my garden bench reading, and consequently 'hanging out' with the birds. The raven is getting tamer by the day, though I did not spot him yesterday, despite peering through the window between typing sessions. If he comes to visit regularly, I shall have to pick a name for him. I am thinking about choosing a name from my music interests, such as a fav band's member's name. The pigeons were pecking about my feet as I sat outside, reading on Monday. Baby-Nob was staring up at my legs as if considering what a strange size and shape they were, but he got back to hunting for stray seeds again soon after his contemplation. Brownie came and sat on my windowsill late yesterday, while I was cooking dinner. She was listening in to the Astral and Shades of Day music I was playing.
The turtle doves have been enjoying my newly seeded vegetable patch - I just hope they left some seeds in there! I planted some beans recently, and I know the doves are partial to brand new bean shoots that surface from previous experience. They seem to have taken a fancy to my bok choy shoots too! I do not really mind, but I would like to have a few plants survive! I have not seen Two-Toe, our regular tame dove for a couple of weeks now. I expect he managed to catch one of the lady doves he has been chasing and has been roped into parental duties!
