I'm with Sz ... and making terrible (embarrassing)
noises. I was walking the neighbourhood streets one warm evening a while ago, as
were many others, and a cat that sometimes tries to enter our garden (and has
been hosed etc) was loping down from the O'Connor ridge. It ignored several
other walkers but when it saw me (a block or so from home) it took off like
a rocket (to quiver under its house and not venture to the Ridge again in a
hurry, I hope).
BTW - a small flock of Yellow Faced Honeyeaters has been
in the trees outside my first floor office at home for several days (and they,
or others, on and off for a while). The tall James Stirling pittosporum
and hakea are both in bloom, and the YFHEs and local/resident Eastern
Spinebills have mostly been enjoying the former (as well as the many grevilleas
etc in the garden, but the wattlebirds monopolise some of them).
cheers
Barbara
