Spring is finally here down under and although the air is filled with the joyous sounds of blackbird and thrush, the silver-eyes no longer congregate at the bird feeder. I shall miss them over summer, but look forward to their return in time for the ripening apples in the autumn. This little fellow is my first attempt at silverpoint. His quizical expression seems to ask "What do you think?"

  2. Thanks Stan. Yes we are getting back to "normal" -over 1000 aftershocks so far which is apparently a world record. Interesting that I too am a retired science teacher.
