I've taken the French boys down to the Cape. The photos are in sequence, walking out. Enjoy!

Temperate rainforest jungle

Banksia and native clematis on the shore


Coalface hills

Me, nearly blown off the cliff

but I was hanging on like these little succulents :-)

At home, on the farm, Paul finally could get on with the work

Some more flowers for you :-)

The grapes at

few leaves stage.
A very nice couple decided that our farm is a good enough place to settle and start a family here :-) Tow more ducks to feed!?...it's a privilege :-)

I could not find them in my bird book, so I would appreciate if any of you could tell me who they are. The male has a distinct blue beak but the body coloration is not matching the one I've found in the book. They are a bit shy but it's not below them to come with the domestic ones at feeding-time :-)
