Hi Gail

What a wonderful interest you share with your partner. Six continents! You'll enjoy aussie birds - I have many species visiting my garden to enjoy the fresh water which I leave in various bowls and bird baths. It is great that people like you record the existence of wildlife populations for posterity. Spring (Sept-Nov) is a good time to visit Australia, not too many weather extremes then.

Snetsinger's book sounds inspirational - I will order it.

Love and light from Helen
