What a great variety of birds you have visiting you. I guess we'll have to plan a trip to your corner of the globe to see the birds and beautiful scenery that your photos have shown us.<br /><br />I haven't heard from Meri (my Sister) since she left for her great Egyptian adventure, hope she is doing well and has lots to share with all of us on her return.normana53https://www.blogger.com/profile/12013028606034707201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155836879539082676.post-46992365293523614292009-10-21T01:12:37.139+10:002009-10-21T01:12:37.139+10:00I love birds!
