Magpies having a very noisy disagreement in the top of my Hazel tree. All the other birds departed before it turned nasty.

There was something similar on the roof of the house across the street from me, 2 couples of magpies against each other. On the roof! Why???

Have waited 'til the fourth day of the 2nd Test in New Zealand to snap a pic of the indigenous wildlife and it turns out to be a sparrer
!!
Thing is though, yesterday was the First Day of Summer in N.Z. and this is (obviously
) a half-fledged wee speug. Not spectacular but a quirky slant on things down under.

I don't think the speug is a youngster as they don't get the black bib until they've matured a little. It was really kind of we homesick Brits exporting our wildlife to the colonies

And here's a dad helping with the building
.
The NZ commentators weren't too thrilled by these pix - I sort of gathered that speugs are a pest there.
PS.: Sorry about the Siamese from up the road - I can't get rid of the photo

Late with breakfast toady
- down at my feet with a cross frown on his face was Rexit, my 'Best Mate' robin. Went straight for a piece of chopped, soaked sultana which is a good vote
.
Instant sugar boost I guess.

Clearly a lover of routine. His own, not yours
