Brush Turkeys!

Well today was mostly uneventful. We spent this morning in the garden with our neighbours, Natasha and little Olivia, demolishing a patch of weedy plants that have completely dominated the front yard for over a decade. Had a lovely time while DJ slept like a baby. He's getting run down, that one.
This afternoon, after a rather failed trip to DFO to buy shoes for Nessima, we saw not one, but two brush turkeys in our little bit of bush. Amazing! I've never seen the like in Lane Cove before. They kind of pottered around for a bit before moving on. Couldn't believe my eyes.
It seems our little bit of scrub is quite a healthy link in the local environment.
Yay to that.
About two years ago we were visited by a flock of around 8 black cockatoos, who hung around for the afternoon before moving on. Curiouser and curiouser, said Alice.
And here was I thinking that Scrub Turkeys didn't come this far south.
