Not a Rat, and Another Trip to Nowra

Pretty sure this is not a common or garden rat, also pretty sure its not long for this world, not a well 'not a rat'.  Not sure why it climbed the ramp and presented itself at the back door…. perhaps to draw attention to the fact that the 'under house' baiting program is not reaching its target audience :(

Another trip to Nowra on Sunday, quilts to deliver and another nice stay with Shayne and Brad in Cambewarra, always enjoy myself on these trips :)

Lily and Minto - the wonder dogs - were as happy and as welcoming as ever, they do a sterling job of keeping the chooks and ducks safe day and night!

Some of Shayne's Calls for this season, I brought home a lovely little trio, blue silver drake, apricot silver duck and an apricot dusky duck - now settling in, in the main pen :)

Does not show up in this photo, but this duckling is most amazing pale blue violet and yellow in colour, think it might be a 'true' silver :)

Tarquinn is his delightful self, and as enthusiastic as ever about human contact.  He's been shorn recently and I think they've had a bit of fun with that!!  LOL!!
