Hi everyone,
As none of my children were visiting me for Mother's Day, I
decided to take myself shopping to get some more furnishings for my new
home. As I was walking across one of the bridges over the canal at
Sunshine Plaza, my mobile rang and of course it was my dear son passing on his
best wishes for the day. So I sat down on a nearby seat so that I could
appreciate the beauty of the glorious day that we were having on the Sunshine
Coast while I chatted to him. As we were exchanging pleasantries, I
was looking down the canal when a Hobby swooped in amongst the Welcome Swallows
sailing gaily in the air and caught himself some lunch. Then it quickly
wheeled away over the roof of the buildings with a swallow in its talons.
My son couldn't understand why I was so excited as he tried to tell me about his
new apartment.
It reminded me of the occasions at Newhaven last year when we
were working down at Camel Bore and while we were having lunch, we could watch
the Hobby fly through the hundreds of Zebra Finches and catch himself (or
herself) some fresh lunch on the wing. Its sometimes just a case of being
in the right place at the right time!
