Friday - Day 5

 

Linda preparing breakfast in the kitchen while her co-chef, Nancy, photographs breakfast.

 

 

Oliver asks "Please Ma'am, can I have some more?"

 

 

Local fire service attends lodge after two hot chefs prove too hot for the kitchen.

 

 

Today we prepared nesting areas for turtles.

 

 

Group begin clearing turtle nests.

 

 We look across the bay and what do we see?

 

 

...an osprey has taken possession of the nest we built on Monday!

 

 

After a lot of hard work the first nest is ready.

 

 

 

Wish we had asked this homeowner what the significance of these toy spades was.

 

 

Craig is reprimanded by Audubon worker for missing a bit.

 

 

Hard-working team gets on with the clearing.

 

 

While this Inspector Crab pronounces himself turtley amazed with our hard work.

 

 

We headed back to our cars before we were cut off from the mainland by the rising tide to discover we were cut off from the mainland by the rising tide.

 

 

We parked outside this empty property while we phoned the Audubon Centre to tell them we would be late for lunch as we were tide up at the moment.

 

This sign informed us of the dangers of these seaside steps so John decided that warning notices were for wimps.

 

After the tide freed us from our marooned status we joined our guide for some bird watching.

 

 These wood figures were created by local artists.

 

 

Danny using his infallible water diviner to search for water.

 

 

Craig insults Nancy so she challenges him to a duel.

 

 Nancy realises she has more chance in a duel with Craig if she actually has a weapon in her hand.

 

 

Battle ensues with Linda acting as referee.

 

 

Nancy retires from the duel after receiving a mortal wound.

 

 

After seeing his girlfriend mortally wounded Danny challenges Craig to a firefight at 10 paces but draws a blank.

 

 

We came across these erratic rocks. Why 'erratic'? Well, they were left by retreating glaciers after the last ice age and erratic means 'wandering' in Latin. Just in case you were wandering how they got their name.

 

 

 We returned to the house that had a narrow escape from the falling tree.

 

 

And then we had to navigate our way through all the other fallen trees.

 

 

Nancy and Danny take Heidi on a tour of the Audubon Centre.

 

Nancy explaining to Heidi that she mustn't wander off as she might be abduckted.

 

 Heidi promises to comply.

 

 

Nancy looking distraught when she discovers that Heidi is missing.

 

 

...and then is relieved when Danny tells her that he has found Heidi nestling in a tree.

 

 

 

 Nancy lends support to a listless tree branch.

  

Heidi having enough of playing hide-and-seek wants to go home.
