Spring has sprung

[gemfyre]

The air is filled with the sound of doves chatting each other up ("Cooo, croo" *bow, fan tail*, repeat). There are baby honeyeaters everywhere and yesterday I even saw babblers busy making baby babblers.

And the waders are arriving by the bucketload.

Ducklings? You mean in Perth? Anytime now I'd guess. I saw loads last year at Herdsman and Monger and Bibra Lakes. It's the swans with cygnets that you gotta watch out for - nasty things.

Hurray! I keep missing them.

I know what you mean about the swans. One time I found a family and was feeding mummy to distract her from my attempts to pat the babies. I finally got my in and BOOM! In came daddy from the side. :D
