A couple of funny/cute incidents occured recently.
On an afternoon recently (hot and dry), I heard a strange tapping outside the house in the front. Wondering if it was a cat or a crow, I peeped through the window to find a Rufus treepie pecking at the side mirror of my car! I went out as quietly as I could to take a picture, but it flew away. This happenned again a couple of days later, but on my husband's car mirror. This time too I was not quiet enought to get a shot.
The other day, while our plants were being watered I notice that there was small leak in the hosepipe and the water was coming out in a tiny shower. Since someone else was watering the plants, I got the opportunity to see a really cute sight. I watched a sparrow come and alight near where the water was spouting out of the leak. I thought she was drinking water. Then she shook herself and I realised there was a smaller leak near where she was and she had been having a pleasant shower. It was so sweet.
