That beige bird that's been driving me nuts - it's an Australian spur winged plover and I've just watched a pair of them mob an Austalasian harrier (big bird of prey) which may have been attempting to rob their nest. They can nest as late as March and my sister says it's been a strange hot/cold/hot summer - they have autumn colours for the first time in her memory (she's been here for 24 years), so they may have young in their ground level nest.

Got a barbie later today, any plans for this morning are waiting until the water pump is fixed.
