My walk

Well I walked for an hour on the walking.cycling paths along the Cook river - parkland with childrens playgrounds, sports fields being used for touch rugy, volleyball and cricket and lots of places for picnics and barbecues. Lots of dogs being walked - seems to be a preponderence of little whitish cross breed fluffy mongrels ( with undershot jaws) -late afternoon is a lovely time for walking.
I enjoy the birdlife - lots of native trees and plants to attract a vairety of birdlife - I saw lots of ibises ( a beautiful bird but looking quite scruffy as they scavenged), a young blue heron, several bunches of small parakeets ( budgerigars?) , a couple of huge crows, quail, little black and white birds I think are called peewees and a lizard of about 18in long. At this part the river itself is lined with mangroves and does appear tobe a bit tidal - but nice to have it so close - think I would go nuts if it wasnt for the opportunity to see and walk in some greenery!
