Mango in the early morning mist

Mango

We have had a stunningly beautiful day here in Napier today.  It started with a little mist this morning, which cleared to blue skies.

Mango enjoyed the early morning sunshine!

Alfie thought about jumping out at her from behind a wall!  I think he decided it probably wasn't a very good idea really!

Rocky

Rocky has only recently discovered his voice!  Four months ago, he was inside an egg!  Now, he is strutting his stuff and has five ladies to look after.  Not sure he has quite realised that though, although he is working on it!

Work on The Ark Sanctuary cottage...

... is starting very shortly! The cottage has two bedrooms, kitchen, dining room, lounge, bathroom and its own, private garden.  Pictures here later.  Very exciting!

In the meantime, some images of birds seen here recently.
