I'm just getting into loaded touring and really like what you've done with combining biking and sketching. It inspires me to do the same.john.phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15561752999008175780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23198946.post-70344842070641158422008-07-14T20:16:00.000+10:002008-07-14T20:16:00.000+10:00What a ride!

I'm glad you didn't do your drawing on the spot!<BR/>I couldn't handle a situation like that - I can't touch birds.<BR/>We saw many of these cockies on our trip back from <BR/>Adelaide today - around the Grampians areas. They were on the road quite close to the passing Big-Double trucks!<BR/>w.Peceli and Wendy's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01165668047817341837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23198946.post-63929291398848571262008-07-14T11:14:00.000+10:002008-07-14T11:14:00.000+10:00Thankgoodness you are alright.

He tried to get it out without killing it but in the end had to kill it, glad you didn't have to do that for the poor bird.

I have to say they are a nuisance here and John sees them off with a gun, not allowed to shoot them but the noise scares them off, they come in a rush and eat the calves feed as well as digging up the newly sown paddocks.<BR/>They are big strong birds to try and untangle from a bike wheel.Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14177627504060328999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23198946.post-40401938827487703942008-07-13T01:04:00.000+10:002008-07-13T01:04:00.000+10:00The bottom picture really shows the struggling mov...The bottom picture really shows the struggling movement of the bird. Must have given you quite a fright. <BR/><BR/>Your previous post reminds me of the spoonsfuls of Virol - I think it was - that the nuns made me have every day, because they thought I needed fattening up. It tasted delicious and unfortunately was very effective.Julie Oakleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01561525327058025185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23198946.post-6768416314835587612008-07-13T00:32:00.000+10:002008-07-13T00:32:00.000+10:00IIIEEYYY!
