...flocking together
This morning the field was host to the largest variety of birds I've seen yet; the resident ravens and magpies, larks waltzing politely around the field, a wing of corellas flying past and a raucous flock of gregarious cockatoos, yellow crests displayed vividly as they strode around.
By comparison the conditions were rather disappointing - a heavy sky complemented by a strong breeze made for unpleasant flying conditions, the Phoenix unsettled by the gusts which precluded low flight and slow fly-bys.
The morning ended with a loud buzzing from the Phoenix as it climbed under full power - the prop adapter had started to strip and this was an audible warning that things had deteriorated. So I glided the Phoenix round into land, taking the opportunity to enjoy slowly navigating the plane in through the breeze for a nice smooth touchdown...
