Keeping Watch

NOTE: I’m not doing the week that was this week as I don’t have many photos to share besides Christy’s birthday as I was pretty out of action with an arthritis flare.

But I have been watching over 2 baby birds that Pop accidently exposed when he was trimming our hedges. To help protect them I’ve been covering the next over with some leaves to give them shade. Mama and Papa bird are around keeping watch and tell me off (by flying close by) if I get too close.

You can see the babies wings are so small.

This is Ma or Pa. Cute aren’t they? They have yellow on the wings. Does anyone know what type of bird it is?

Amazingly enough I took I photo of Pop when he was trimming the tree. It must have been only minutes before he spotted the nest, or maybe just as he spotted it.

Sorry to have been absent all week.  You wouldn’t believe it but not only was my main computers memory full, but so was my laptops!!!! Arghh!!!! Thanks to Kevin the laptop is now back in action, and my main computer is getting there. So I’ve got a bit of catching up to do.

On Thurs Amy had to go to school for a rock esteddford practice so I took Christy up to Otford Farm for her school holiday horse ride.

She had requested to ride Narla  and was pleased to get her for a two hour trail ride.

It was pretty cold day but luckily it didn’t rain, and she had a wonderful time. I went and got some breakfast, which I ate overlooking the ocean.

Then I drove back to the farm and read in the car while waiting for Christy’s return.

Afterwards we did a bit of shopping in town and met up with Amy, to give her some money, as she was staying in town to hang out with her friends for a bit.
