A Walk on the Wild Side

Although the weeds are taking over round here, some of them are, at least, pretty attractive. And our native plantings are still winning the war.

Harakeke/flax that I planted shortly after moving in is flowering and the tuis are loving the nectar. I've found bird's nests under - and inside - the shed and underneath the deck too.

The mynah birds inside the shed have made a scruffy nest but we have another bird that makes the most beautiful nests with a smooth lining. I'm not sure what it is but suspect it's one of the European immigrants - maybe a thrush. Any ideas, anyone?
