After so much rain we're enjoying a beautiful spell of magnificent weather - have just about caught up with all the mowing and garden-tidying again although now everything's growing so FAST it'll all need doing again soon.

The valley's alive with birds now - the Buff-breasted Paradise Kingfishers are everywhere and their calls echo from dawn till dusk. We're keeping an eye on all the known termite-mounds for the first signs of nest-excavating. Still trying to get a clear shot - I took this a few minutes ago from the verandah outside the office.
Sunbirds have built another nest in the shed, right near the barbeque table so if all goes well guests will have a birds-eye view of the growing family. As long as the terrible Butcher Birds don't interfere - I know it's nature but we hate to see how they attack and kill our smaller birds.
