Saturday

Today is the 78^th anniversary of the birth of my father, Brian Francis Martyn Renner.

I found this bird across the flats. It looked a bit cold, so I pinched it from its irate parents, who've now probably gone off to lay some more eggs.  It's a Spur-winged Plover.

 

This rather sad sight greeted me, on checking the pukeko nest I've been watching ...

...obviously some other creature has also discovered it, probably a hawk.

 

The Paradise Ducklings continue to expand at an alarming rate, now sprouting feathers on their shoulders...

 

People talk about sheep blindly following each other around... what about this lot?
