As readers in Australia will be aware, the weather over much of the country has been foul for most of the last week. All the way from the northwest Kimberly coast to the far south of New South Wales. We've had 200mm in the last few days but many have been much worse with flooding all over the place. Glad we live on a hill.  Friday evening when a southerly buster added to the rain we heard a loud thump, as half a tree blew down, miraculously just missing our shed.   Ah well, more firewood!

Its been a good week for image management and surprisingly also for bird Photography.
Lots of honey eaters have been feeding off the native flowers in our garden, and this little fellow, a New Holland honey eater, has adopted this old tree stump as his lookout post. Other visitors that are usually very timid are the Top Knot Pigeons seen here; the soft light has enabled the brilliant colours to really shine.
