Day forty

.......and on the fortieth day they rested.  Today we did nothing. Nada. Rien. Nigun. And other words that mean sitting around, reading, studying the seascape and dozing too. The only practical thing we did was to add names to birds. We go around taking photographs and vaguely work out what we are seeing. So now we have a set of photos and a set of names to go with it.  Just so you don't feel left out here is the list - there are repeats where we have both photographed the same birds or seen the same birds lots of times - like Kookaburras and pelicans!
