Birds

Yesterday J saw a lonely baby chick walking up and down the road. He must have fallen out of the nest because he was on his own and lost, poor fella. When I got home in the evening I found the baby turkey chick on our driveway. He was just sitting there and when I got out of the car he moved away from me and hid the hedge... I wanted to help him but he disappeared and I had no time to try and find him... (had J’s work Christmas party last night!) and if I did what would I have done? I have no idea, but I felt so sorry for the poor chick all alone and no way of feeding himself....  Unfortunately this is not a great story where I tell you we rescued him and he got to live a happy live. Oh well, that was the plan, however this morning I found the  chick dead by one the hedges...  L I know he would have died regardless, when they fall out of the nest - that's it for them, however I still feel sorry for him!!

More birds! Got this book with most common birds in Europe. Yes, I already have some books about Australian birds ad I thought better refresh my memory on the European birds... (Yes people i know I am a nerd but I am ok with that because I also have lots of nice shoes and dresses! Haha! )

More birds again! This afternoon Frida and I found (what I believe) 2 bush curlews strolling around.  They were moving quite slowly and when we got closer they just stopped for a bit before moving... They looked really beautiful and gracious! Opposed to what I would have thought would happen – Frida was really quiet and sat down next to me and we watched them for a few minutes before moving on. Noice moment!!
