What a wonderful collection of birdies, nan! O:V
For some reason I really like the crow on the braai...
I really need to set up a bird bath as well next time at Uri.
Funnily enough, I always do it at GK, but have never done it
at Uri. Wonder what I have been missing because of that. :-?

almost all the bottles of water was recycled... and finished their life like that =O:
all was damaged, most of them at the bottom :?
