spider

Red bird


Click to see what we have on our jasmine vine in the back yard.

It's a bird dropping spider.

Apparently they catch birds, climb up really high..and then drop them to the ground.

That's a smart looking bird there. I don't think it'd fall for any of those spiders' nonsense.

EEK! That is a fearsome spider. But I love the red bird and the two little characters with it.

It is a look typical of 'paroty' birds methinx.

the red bird has the same eyes as the magpies that usually looked at me with disdain for not sharing my chips.

maybe next time i should tie them magpies, climb up really high and drop them to the ground ...

oh what joy!
