Everythings growing, blooming, smelling wonderful - It's Spring here in Australia. The sun is bright and warm. We had better rains this year and we have baby black swans on the flooded paddocks around us. I just picked up my first baby magpie for the season. I care for the overflow from the wildlife carers, under their supervision. It's so tiny, a nestling still. It's in a hanging basket-nest under the window preening its feathers in the sun. That's about like a human baby brushing its own hair at the age of about 2 weeks! Joy
