Carnaby's black cockatoo

There are a crown of these birds in the back yard this week, cutting down branches in the gum tree. Only enough space for a couple at a time drinking! I managed to get a pic of one. My goodness they are noisy!!!

Captain Seymour Butler

I have very few photos passed down through the family of my grandfather. Henry Seymour Butler was born in Bath in 1875, he owned a couple of shoe shops & was on various committees. I had another look at the old newspapers this morning & there he was.

Ruby Tuesday Too

My one & only double poppy has it's day!

On a nastier note, last evening Sparky caught 'something' - not sure if it was a mouse/rat or bird. Wouldn't leave it alone & I couldn't get to it or Sparky so he stayed out ALL NIGHT!
This morning didn't turn up until gone 9 am. Didn't eat any food. When I went to discover what he had been doing I found remains of - not sure what. Had to go to the shed to get a garden tool to pick it up & what do you know, nearly walked in to a Redback Spider.

Think I'll spent the rest of the day indoors!!!

This looks like Leucospermum 'Yellow Bird' but it could also be a form of Waratah. Not sure.
