If You Build It They Will Come

I had built a pond and put a birdbath in the garden.

In the dry the Rainbow Lorikeets have been using the birdbath and fighting over a spot and queueing along the fence waiting there turn.

Apparently Musk Lorikeets don't like fighting and went straight to the pond.

This is the first time I have seen parrots other than Rainbow Lorikeets since I moved to the South Coast

Since then more birds have been using the pond but I haven't had the camera ready. I will add more photos as they come to hand.

A Day Out

A few days in Bundanoon and a long anticipated visit to Red Cow Farm. I have wanted to see this open garden for some time and it is just next door at Sutton Forest.

Beautiful hedging and topiary

And a magnificent display of late summer/autumn flowers. 

I loved this Canna "Bengal Tiger" and came back the next week and purchased one from their nursery. 

Borrowed vistas from the paddocks next door 

And no garden is complete without a water feature. 

We'll be back in spring.
