Dear Blogger friends. Thank you for your kind wishes for my birthday. I have been inundated with phone calls, WhatsApp messages and Facebook greetings.
Just after Christmas, I saw Mama sitting on my bed and gazing out of the window. When I drew closer, I saw she was birdwatching. I grabbed my camera and managed to get several photos of a mother bird and her youngster sitting on a tree just outside the window.

During one of our cleanup sessions at The Bunker, I rescued a praying mantis sitting on the units WiFi dongle.

I carried it out and placed it on the Tecomaria on the patio

Happy Saturday to you all!
