Hi all
Almost writing from my sick bed this week! Dreaded cold has got me - I am battling on though, a week of big talks for BIBY (of course just when I need my voice it all but disappears on me) - I am giving a workshop with the Nature Conservation Council of NSW tomorrow on how to garden for birds in Asset Protection Zones (so looking at what can be done to reduce fire risk but also create habitat - its a challenge!).
Anyway, the theme this week is 'sheen' - lets see photos of birds with some sort of sheen/gloss to them...
Good luck with the workshop and i hope the flu goes away quick,Holly.
A couple with sheen.
