The Tuesday Cow

We've had the Monday heron; now we have the Tuesday cow. I couldn't understand why Toby was barking; then I noticed a cute heifer wandering around the garden. It was just as curious about me as I was about it, and it let me get quite close with my camera. Eventually it got bored and mooched off to see the grass on the other side of the road. Luckily we live on a VERY quiet road.

The wildlife here is great (well, the stuff with 2 - 4 legs, anyway). We have swallows nesting under the car port and they sit very cosily together in the evenings, snuggled up in the corner; there's a hare that we've spotted along the verge several times; there are kookaburras and plovers in the paddock; kangaroos and wallabies regularly jump across the grass; little lizards run around in the sun on the deck; and satin bowerbirds, a butcher bird and lots of mynah birds fly around the garden. Hoorah for nature!
