gemfyreWent on a picnic at Bell's Rapids yesterday. When we got there I noticed thunder rumbling and dark clouds gathering. Mum's comment was "didn't you see the lightning?"
Anyway, started to rain as soon as we were set up. We almost got out of there but it passed and the sun came out again.
I spotted a robin in the bush in front of me. Obviously an adult male because his breast feathers were really bright. Noticed a few others flitting about as well. Possibly females or more likely younger males as they were similar to the main male, just paler. I got my camera out and went off to find them again. Eventually I found our man perched in a casurina. He let me get pretty close and I snapped quite a few photos of him. This one being the best...
Pretty lil' fella. There was also another bird there I couldn't ID. Very loud pretty whistle. TINY little bird. I figured it was probably a silvereye or something but it didn't look like one of them. Looked vaguely brown honeyeater but it was too small and the wrong shape to be one of them. I don't know what it was, only photo I got of it makes it look like another leaf anyway.
I really wanna get to a doctor about this throat of mine but won't be able to even call to make an appointment before Tuesday. I'm worried it'll turn into an inner ear infenction and just want to know WHAT it is and start working towards making it better.
