Getting back to the original topic of this, native birds:

When I moved to Germany I started to pick up some of the local lingo. The trouble is, as a non-native speaker you can't help but make strange word associations. For example, the German word for Hedgehog is Igel, but it's pronounced like the English word Eagle. So now whenever I hear about the American bald Eagle this comes to mind...

Image nicked from the net.

I guess this must be the German Imperial Igel

So you British thought it was cool to transport convicts to Australia?

Well now it's payback time, Australia brings you "Spiders to Britain".

The first consignment has just arrived.

Maybe it's a female with thousands of eggs somewhere!

Only the Poms would be silly enough to send all their prisoners to surfers paradise, whilst keeping a cold, wet and crowded little island for themselves....not well thought out that one.

Meanwhile, here's a message from our ministry of tourism....

Are you sure that's not an Australian spider eating a chipmunk from the inside out?

Australia is beautiful too watch on tv and exciting but I am too scared to visit 😀

It's not for the faint hearted....

Must admit with the spate of shark attacks we've had on the mid north coast of NSW, I've really gone off swimming out in the surf.

When I was a kid I was out there on my board before dawn and after dusk all the time.

Must be losing my sense of adventure.

Maaate , No worries, she'll be right. Like if your lucky the odds are you'll only lose a leg or arm and that's why you have two of each.

You can't blame the Maggie, it's just learned that Buckley got another two years.

The magpies are mental. Whilst out walking the dog yesterday, I was watching one attack the business end of a 2.5 m (8 foot) long Python. One wrong move and Maggie would have been the first decent meal after a hat long winter sleep.

Unfortunately, this was all happening in the shadow of some trees and the iPhone doesn't pick out the contrast.
