The Little Wattlebirds are nesting in the jasmine and other plants that hide the side of the shed. Mum is sitting on the rail, bottom left. Here are both parents, with dad telling me off for hanging around. Which I shouldn't have been as I have a big weed and mulch project to get finished before summer. The original mulch has been there for six or seven years and has broken down nicely to create a few inches of actual soil on top of the sand and limestone. Weeds have been enjoying this for a while now but it's time they went. I'll use the soil/weed mix to top coat the driveways which are bare sand/rock and get eroded by the elements. Big, fat trailer load of mulch produced on site, mainly dead wattle and fallen limbs from gum trees, and fed through tractor-driven chipper. It doesn't take long to fade from pink to the grey you see in front of it, but it does a good job of weed-suppression. Still, it's a labour of love - got a spare day or so?
