Don't get to close to this guy when he is hunting.

Waiting???
Our male Ruru - The Bandit snoozing in the early morning light.
The spot he is in is where his kids have emerged from every year for the past 6 years.
Huia our female is close and fingers crossed the kids will show up soon.
The last two years they have shown up on christmas eve.
Like I said - WAITING???

Dressing up a Ganesha today in our garden to honour our longtime Bali friend I Made Tirtayasa's daughters wedding.
Best wishes to Ayu and Gus Dwi on your wedding day in Bali today.

Getting the side-eye from my mate early this morning.
