For the birds! – in Sydney

ith birds on the balcony for breakfast, it’s impossible to get a word in edge ways about the plans for Sydney over the next couple of weeks with my newly arrived visitors from Miami – Michael and Ricardo. Lorikeets have flown in and captured their full attention!

My neighbour Pam Turner claims that these are ‘her’ lorikeets. She’s more than annoyed that they’ve flown her coup and come to mine. (After bread and honey, yes, they pooped on the floor, but gee they’re pretty.)

What visitor wouldn't be captivated (and ignore my discussion of trip plans) by such beauty of these lorikeets!

On the beach at Watson’s Bay, slowly recovering from the battering of the storms that hit the whole east coast of Australia last week, two friendly Chinese tourists gesture to us to accept a handful of chips to throw to seagulls sitting on the beach to get them to fly into a frenzy. And success!

The photo is testament to Michael being gleefully happy with the ‘chip-throwing’ exercise – with Ricardo and Michael Iñesta also amused.

The whole first day of the visitors stay was obviously ‘for the birds’!
