It is an Australian magpie (maggie), one of the most beautiful singers of bird song ever, social and clever and toughminded. You can tell i love them can't you!
I've been reading a terrific book called Providence of a Sparrow, by Chris Chester. He rescues a baby sparrow and tells about the relationship that ensues. It's full of surprises...
I live in Ballarat, an old goldfields town, in the central west of Victoria, but southerly in relation to the world. I love Chinese architecture, the post-goldfields towns and countryside of central Victoria, and I love the practice and the art of history. This year I'm beginning a research project on Ballarat in the 1870s.
