Yesterday evening, Eddy was outside bbq-ing when he heard a thud, and found this bird on the ground behaving like it had been stunned - must have flown into the window. Its a shiny bronze cuckoo - says in my book they hang out in dense forest or tall scrub, so surprised to find it in our backyard!! Put it up on top of the budgie breeding boxes out of harm's way while it recovered, and half an hour later it flew away :)
Finally finished my entry for the Hanging of the Quilts next weekend at Yass - phew!! Even with the clothes line at full height it was still too big to suspend, but you get the gist!!
Another iris - this is one I brought from Nowra Hill in a pot - its still in a pot, but should make it to the garden after its finished flowering!! It looks much darker in real life.
Not easy on the eyes! It's lovely. DId you do some fancy quilting? A pic if you did please. I hope it was easier to construct than it looks! Good luck.
