    @georgepenney @robini71 Quail are adorable! I love seeing their little chicks and my favorite is the noise of warning the lookout makes! To me, the warning cry of the California Quail sounds as if hundreds of soap bubbles are rapidly popping! I call the crest a thinking feather, but the way they run one way and suddenly another, I'm uncertain how much thinking is done.

    #Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:A man (60s?) is lugging a big plastic crate of Christmas ornaments from a shed while two small humans (3 & 4?) supervise, excitedly leading the way back into a pretty wooden bungalow. A sleek tabby cat bringing up the rear.A man (20s?) in baggy skater wear is crouching next to a brown miniature poodle, saying: "You're an AWESOME girl. Yes you are! YES you ARE" Miniature Poodle is a woolly wiggle of rapturous adoration. Fluffy tail wagging, tummy on show for pats.Two mud covered men, sitting on muddy mountain bikes, are having a contented chat in the lee of a building as a light rain falls. One says to the other: "Good ride, eh?" The other laughs: "Yeah. I'm so happy I got to do it, although, I think it was more a slide than a ride!"Three small humans (3 to 6?) are performing a VERY special play on a community stage. It involves a whole variety of singing, and some unexpected honking noises. Their audience a few curious seagulls. Mum and Dad chilling at a nearby restaurant.A big community Christmas tree in the background.Three generations of the same family (Nan, Mum and Teen) are strutting down the street in their best black jeans and metal T-shirts. Nan's a fan of Pantera. Mum likes Ghost and Teen's rocking old school Metallica. Cheerful chatter as they go.(continued below)

    #Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:A tiny human (2?) runs his fastest down a garden path to greet his big brother (5?) home from school. Big Brother stoically accepting all hero worship. Little Brother doing a happy skip-dance of welcome as he leads the way back into the house. A very serious man (60s?) is doing some cycling along a beach path on a no-nonsense trail bike. But what is this?!A little black dog sitting on a special basket in front of the handlebars? Ears flapping in the wind and a goofy doggy grin on its face?Ah, maybe opposites attract.A young human (8?) is practicing doing bunny hops on his scooter. He doesn't quite have the hang of it and there're a few stops and starts but it's okay. He's having fun. Grinning when he gets one right.Six young humans (9?) are playing volleyball after school. Five have their game faces on, taking epic dives at the ball. Meanwhile, one is doing a dreamy on-the-spot dance. Yes there's a bit of fuss going on, but she's happy in her own wee world.A big man (20s?) in business casual is lounging on his tummy on some grass in a park. Big Man's big dog (white staffy) is affectionately nuzzling his human's beard with his nose, tail wagging with helicopter-enthusiasm. Birdsong in trees overhead. A city settling in for the night. Any typos spotted in this post are Comma Hopping Ampersands. If spotted, please suggest they spend a little while hopping off the life rollercoaster and snoozing in a park.

    #Spotted at a Country Festival in Aotearoa New Zealand:A small human (4?) with tiger face paint is facing another bigger small human (5?) with spiderman face paint. With great authority she announces: "I am a TIGER which is MUCH BETTER than SPIDERMAN. so you HAVE to do what I say!"Numerous tiny humans and their dads are lined up to sit in a fire engine and to make the BIG HOSE go. Both tiny humans and dads showing equal levels of excitement. This is a FIRE ENGINE. You don't get cooler than that.A small, stern young human (4?) is fiercely studying an elderly Jersey cow who is calmly accepting all pats as her due.When Mum asks if Small Human would like to pat the cow he scowls. "That is NOT A COW! It's a dog. You pat dogs!"Placid Jersey Cow seems unbothered by this bendy taxonomy.A tiny human (2?) is most insistent that her Care Bear should get to cuddle some sleeping piglets.The only problem is... how?Tiny Piglets are snuggled up, snoozing in their hut and she cant quite reach them through the fence.Hmmm.Maybe Care Bear cuddles can happen long distance instead.A young human (4?) is given a precious sausage wrapped in a slice of white bread, tomato sauce* on top.This is valuable treasure and she's carefully trying to maneuver it into her sparkly unicorn handbag.But what is this?!For some inexplicable reason Dad is objecting to this excellent plan.

    Any typos spotted in this post spent a delightful afternoon at the beach last weekend only to have two weka parents and their chicks try to steal a) a bucket hat, b) a jandal* and c) a piece of fish from our fish and chips. If spotted please remind them to take a picture! They keep forgetting.*Wekas are a beloved local bird that will absolutely snaffle anything. See picture. They look innocent and quiet but they are very very very sneaky.*The shags in this case were Chatham Islands shags as far as I could tell.*Jandals are flip flops or thongs.
