Eight Grams of Attitude

After over-extending myself in the garden again today (it’s an almost daily phenomenon) I was lying on the sofa resting. But the calm was shattered by this fantail with its penetrating scolding. It went on and on. Even when I went out there it didn’t stop, but directed its shrieking at me. You can see the wide open beak. Now and then it darted out and caught a small flying insect and returned to the this spot to shriek some more. It’s hard to believe that so much noise could come from such a tiny creature.

Last evening there was more rain- 21 mm altogether. This morning was cold and I saw why when I looked up at the mountains. See extra shot.
