Walk . . . Foo Fighters

The lovely daughter came walking with Jen and I this morning.  Us and this Weka were the only walkers on the Great Taste Trail at the estuary.  There  were a lot of bikers but we heard them coming and kept to the side of the trail.  I didn't take the long lens so missed swans swimming, herons fishing and two kingfisher on the power lines.  This Weka was right beside the path looking for insects.  It caught a shiny brown beetle.  The white cardboard tubes are shelter for baby plants. A lot of planting has been done beside the trail.  
The forester went and picked apricots at the sister in laws and has been making a batch of jam.  Yesterday the fruit looked golden on the trees in the sunshine.  It now looks pretty in the jam jars.
