Here we all were, having a gardening sort of morning, with a nap here and a thorough investigation there...
...blessed we've been to have a pair of uncommonly-seen-in-Melbourne-now Willy Wagtails ( Rhipidura leucophrys ) build their nest in the Liquidambar above our outdoor nursery. They're flirtatious, charcoal-and-snowy, fearless chatterboxes...the Fred Astaires and the Ginger Rogers of the bird world.
Chief Inspector Zara has been on high alert...
...new family members, especially infants, are allowed to have their way, and can't be considered to be chase-worthy yet. 
None of us has anything to fear. Gardens, after all, imply a guiding hand ( maybe a paw, too ), and I am perfectly happy to be able to get on with some gardening, here under the swift acrobatics of the Willy Wagtails.
