Check out this bird

it was in our yard yesterday evening (that red bit there is the barn, for those of you who know the yard). Any guesses as to what it is?

in other news, the Widge loves cupcakes ("cake-cup" he says), I had a good photo but I can't find it just now (darn it). Here he is playing on the farm we took him to:feeding sheep

working the pump


and piloting some sort of vehicular device. Lots of fun for a small boy, so much fun that he couldn't be bothered to pause and eat his ice cream!
