Red-browed Firetail Finch

About 20 or 30 of these grazing in the back yard this morning. The bird life has increased here quite a lot over the past few years. To the naked eye (and my short sight)these tiny birds looked just brown with odd flash of red. Thanks to 20x zoom I was able to capture how pretty they are.

Speaking of birds, went to see the Legend of the Guardians the animated owl movie. Beautifully animated and the 3D was fairly impressive, but something was lacking in the characters & story, was a bit disappointed. The little ones would probably like it.

Speaking of owls, really seriously thinking of frogging it, not completely, but just not happy and really want to be able to wear it. The buttons I bought off Ebay are perfect.

Working very slowly on some Noir socks and have picked up the baby blanket again, was thinking a cushion, now back to a blanket that I'll keep.

Borrowed Cookie A's Sock Innovation from the library and loved it, fortunately Angus & Robertson decided to have a 20% off sale and free postage, so the deal was done, just waiting for it to arrive.

Have since borrowed Knit So Fine can't decide if to buy it, like a few things in it. Also borrowed Knitted Jackets.I know they're jackets but they all seem so big, sure I would drown in most of them, so not so keen on this one.

Was very excited when I found my new phone reads pdf and html, can download all my knitting patterns onto it. It's a Garmin Asus, it also a full on SatNav.It's Android so have downloaded Mahjong, Pinball & bubbleburst and lost a fair bit of knitting time :-/ The 5 meg camera is also quite good
