It’s time for Debbie’s Six Word Saturday
Today I have been out and about on my property cutting firewood and pulling out lots of Lantana, which is an invasive weed here. I often drop by the spot where the male Satin Bower Bird has his Bower just to see what he has collected from around the neighbourhood. The bits of blue plastic, a Satin Bower Bird favourite, are from all around as I know they are not from my place (although the blue pegs are probably from my place).
I was surprised to find that he had collected a blue heart, looks like a cooking mould, among the treasures collected to entice the girls to his Bower for love.
For Sarah’s 30 Days 30 Songs
This is the LP cover that my Mum had in her record collection. We often sat and listened to Paul Mauriat. A lovely memory
This is a full orchestral version of the song
What a lovely bird, in more than one sense of the word!
