A Little Birdie Told Me So!

   Over the last few weeks we have been staying at Lake Bonney Caravan park, spending our days glancing across at the lake, watching the mist roll in of a morning and the sun set of an evening. The nights have been cool  and ,except for a few wet days, the days has been pleasant.

  As we sit and work, lolling our days writing articles, meeting people and making new friends, I have had the pleasure of a conversation with a newly made friend of the feathered variety. Each day we are visited, at no particular time and often on numerous occasions, by a beautiful wild bird who is never shy at coming forward. Each day he sits next to me and listens to what I have to say as I speak softly, asking his opinion on the daily happenings. He is willing to take bread and offerings out of my hand, flying off and returning when the supply runs dry. He sits upon the edge of the dogs water and happily drinks having not a care in the world. Of a morning I lay in bed and listen as he sings me his chorus whilst standing on the tent rope. I am never sure if this is a call of  "get up you lazy bugger I want to eat" or a call meant to calm me and help me start my day. Either way I have been pleased to have shared two weeks with my feathered friend and feel honoured to have been shown trust and companionship.

   His friendship has been one that will stay in all of our minds for a long time to come and has shown us that it is the little things in life that count.........even the feathered ones.
