Finally, A Visitor

Two weeks ago we called into Albert Verschuuren's pottery studio on Amiens Road, Stanthorpe. While I enjoy looking at Albert's decorative work, I'm really more of a 'functional' gal. I already have one of his beautiful lidded casserole dishes, a big bowl (that I use for baking bread) and a sturdy candle holder and, to be honest, I really didn't NEED anything. Albert's bird feeders did catch our eye, though. We're blessed with an abundance of wild birds in our garden but we figured it would be nice to put some seed out to show them that they're welcome.

Well, for these past two weeks we've forlornly watched the feeder. There have been galahs, king parrots and rosellas all about but none had found our little offering. Until today! This little guy happily fed for over five minutes this morning. I'm wondering whether he'll tell his mates. Let's hope this is the first of many visits. Sorry for the small image. I had to keep my distance and a zoom lense is still on my wishlist.
