You will catch him one day, I am sure. |

As Wolf mentioned earlier, patience is the key---to wait for these birds to come to you away from their nesting area, as luck may, or may not, have it. Good luck Andy; look forward to seeing a photo of him, or her. |

Sorry I missed some posts re yabbies Peter. No I didn't eat them, I put them back, we have a large pond. When i bought this property over twenty years ago there was a 100 year old mulberry tree where i wanted to extend the lawn. I pulled it up with the tractor, and relocated it. But what to do with the hole? I couldn't move it so made it into a 16ft.x 10ft. pond... |
