Equestrians in training
Ahh - Could an eccentric aunt be any more proud..... Chloe on Chase practicing for the end of year gala with 4 other friends And Aimee on Chase on her like 6th lesson and he cantered once!!! He was supposed to trot from a walk and got a bit carried away. Aimee didn't even flinch - except for maybe the smile of excitement?

Crows waiting for the postman
A couple of crows at my front gate today.. I can just see them saying "I wonder what the post-mans got for lunch today?" .... "I hope it's not chips again!"

Tawny in a barb wire fence :(
Rescued this guy (a Tawny frogmouth) yesterday from a barb wire fence. They focus on the food they want to catch and don't know that us humans came along and invented wire with these really sharp barbs on it that they use to keep animals in or out, and then get caught on their swoop to catch a mouse or beetle? One of Australias' most well known Birds of the Night.
You can also see that he's not an owl - doesn't have the same beak for tearing flesh - or talons. Tawnies have pretty simple soft feet - not that you can see in these photos. He did fly for me today so afeter some Tender loving care, good food and rest he should be just fime. We'll make sure he goes back from whence he came too - He probably has girl he's hoping to make babies with real soon.
