the birds (a film re-enactment)
When we arrived in Kings Canyon caravan park yesterday, it was to find our campsite infested by Native Mynahs.
These fellas have no fear, and snatched food from our hands (en route to our hungry mouths). Christina had to take refuge in the campervan - here she is eyeing off one bird who was threatening to jump up into the cab with her.
Today we went on a big walk up to the top of the canyon and around the rim of it - magnificent. To reward ourselves for such uncharacteristic exertion, we took ourselves off to Kathleen Springs for a quiet picninc out in the bush.
Our lunch companion was a crow the size of a small pony. He was so peeved at our refusal to share our hard-earned ham sandwiches with him, that he proceeded to scvenge around underneath our campervan. We imagined him to be picking off squashed bugs from under the front bumper, but it turned out he was maliciousl removing the foam insulation from around the radiator. How to explain this to the hire company?!
(Oh, and then he shat on the window too.)
