Spring action

The seasons are changing here and it feels very much like Spring. We have more sunshine and the days are getting slightly longer. I thought I'd share some bird life I've been seeing outside starting with this brown and orange finch sitting on top of the fence. 

Think this is a Thrush who at the time was very warily checking to see if all was clear, luckily it was as all the cats were asleep inside.

 

Tiny Green Finches making use of the leftover pizza crust that someone threw on the grass.

 

Achievements for the week are that I completed a 3 day intensive first aid course at work and I finally finished planting a row of red Camellia Takanini trees that I bought for along the fence. They should make a nice show of colour over future Winters when very little else is growing.

The white blossoms on my neighbour's plum tree are now blooming - hopefully we will have another crop of Plums to pick from the branches hanging over the fence line.

Orange and yellow Calendula are also flowering in my vege garden. Last week I also bought some Tarragon, Oregano, Lettuce, Garlic and Broccoli which went in there too. In the "cat friendly" garden I I have planted some cat grass and cat nip - Tiger was very enthusiastic about this and was supawvising me. When I finished he happily ate some then peed on one of the plants. sigh.
