Australia 2019 19/4 Friday

Much nicer day today. No wind. Luis & Jay out early to fish.
Me off birding (again!)

Australian White Ibis


Australian Pelican


Wattlebird bathing

The Wattlebirds are so funny when they bath. They literally dive into the water and emerge soaking wet (but clean).

I absolutely adore Willie Wagtail and his clownish wagging of his tail.


Fishermen return after unsuccessful morning (at least until Zac and Ben joined them, when Ben held Luis' fishing rod and had a tremendous take which fell off in the surf - guess the boys bring luck).



Jay normally baits up the kids rods for them. This has earned him the name "Master Baiter"!!!!



Great hilarity while all the others had a game of piggy in the middle using frisbee. Frisbee ended up getting well and truly stuck in a tree. More hilarity followed as they struggled for about 30 minutes to save frisbee.



Jay's solution, a long stick (Not long enough)




Two neighbours came to the rescue: Connor being the only one scoring a direct hit/slight movement of frisbee and then the ultimate saviour, Dominic who scaled the tree like a monkey!




Subsequently, and much later, the kids "lost" the frisbee again and ... once again ... Dominic to the rescue!!!  All future frisbee games to take place in large open field.

All played Uno then off to bed
