I won't be posting again until January, so here is a little something, the sky at sunrise.

Just discovered a new website Birdlife Australia, with an online magazine Australian Bird Life. There are lots of interesting articles.

Chickens
This is my Papa Chooky, which I drew for a "Goldilocks" book (my own version, which always has Goldilocks clearing up her own mess). I have always loved chickens. What characters! Domestic chickens come from Jungle Fowl - and I have just been reading about them here on the BBC Wildlife Blog. You can see more of my Chookys on my other blog, Craft Conversations under the Chooky label.

Australian Grebe
Grebes are just coming into breeding season here in Adelaide, and they will develop a lovely chestnut stripe on their neck, and an oval yellow on the face. The flank also becomes much richer in colour. We have several living locally at Lochiel Park, (alongside the Torrens containing it's own small wetlands - it is an ecologically sustainable development) and last year I enjoyed watching the chicks - so cute! Stripey!
