Sparking an interest in the natural environment from an early age

Just had to share snaps of our little happy birdwatches....


Our littlest struggles to focus on the job at hand at times...


Our oldest boy on the other hand helps Dad with his birdwatching, often having a much sharper eye for detail.  In fact, it was our eldest that spotted the pair of the migratory Common Koel that made home around our house for a month or so in summer this year.  Here's a link to their call.... a real treat for us in Orange - made us feel that we were in the tropics...

It is great to have such observant and enthusiastic kids..... a skill they will now have for life.... and a skill that I try to pass onto other adults learners through my conservation and land management teaching.
