New Year: Frigatebirds

I hope all had a happy introduction to the New Year. Michael and I spent our day at Bagot Reserve (the Aboriginal reserve in Darwin) throwing flour around with our indigenous relatives. They also threw eggs, one of which I ended up wearing when one of the ladies gave me a bear hug (she had egg all over her head and shoulders). If one would like to have a fun time without the hangover I can heartily recommend this activity. There are some photos on Facebook if anyone is interested. Recently I discovered that an indigenous Hawaiian friend was producing cards and prints of the constellations and the birds and fish associated with them. These cards are stunning – I’ve never seen anything quite like them. I’ve absolutely no commercial interest in this, but thought the cards of the frigatebirds might appeal to Birding Aussers. They’re at . Happy New Year!
