It’s been a bit wet. Although not as bad as up north, it seems.

I don’t think the kōtare minded too much: here it was sitting in the cherry tree, rain dripping off its bill. Periodically it would dive down onto the lawn, presumably picking up worms escaping to the surface out of the waterlogged lawn:

But while the kōtare seemed not unhappy with the weather, the rosellas just looked miserable:

Bugger them, I say. I’d sooner have blossom in spring time for tui, and cherries in summer for kererū, than have rosella strip the buds now. So Bella and I chased them off.

The Footer

My name is Alan Macdougall, and this is my website. There's more about me here, if you really want to get carried away about it.

On the other hand, there's a whole lot of my favourite recent links of interest, photos I've taken, and other stuff over on the Elsewhere page, and there's always the site archives over in Bygones for additional excitement.

But probably you just want to find something specific (why else would you scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, right?), so here's the search box instead.

Site layout based on Gaia template by Vladimir Agafonkin. Thanks Vladimir!
