When we moved into the new place the garden was a bit of a mess - it had been 'tidied' by pruning anything green down to a 1" stump, so the borders were a mix of weeds & vestigial plant life. It may only be a rental but we've never owned a garden before so it is also a bit of an experiment as to what we want when we get a place of our own. Liz has put the hard yards in on tidying everything up and now it's looking pretty good. We also planted a few sunflower seeds which have grown at surprisingly different speeds and which have bought a bit of colour to the borders.
We soon noticed that the sunflowers were looking a little ravaged. We thought at first that it was due to the lack of rains but yesterday I found the true reason.....El Leecho, a pale-faced Rosella that drops by for a daily snack
It sways alarmingly under his weight but he doesn't seem to worry about it
and pulls off gymnastic moves to reach his booty
You can't deny it Leechie, we have you red-beaked
That little bugger had better not develop a taste for hops...
