About The Authors

Since meeting in early 1999 Catherine and Mark have progressively been exploring the world via land and water, maximising weekends and holidays to get off the beaten track. Over the years they have progressed from hike tent to camper trailer to caravan and motorhome, and Tassie the Burmese cat joins them on the adventure.

Miss Blue is doing so well with her clutch, which is now up to 7 eggs. She spends most of the day keeping them warm, with quick 10 minute breaks for food and water. Mr Blue is also regularly popping in with juicy green caterpillars. The average clutch is 8-10 eggs, but they can lay up to 16! It will be interesting to see how far she goes…! #greenfeatherscamera #birdboxcamera #bluetit

So squirrels are well known for destroying bird feeders, and ours are no different. I have lost count of the times I have found peanuts all over the floor and a feeder broken. So I bought this one. It closes access to the peanuts for anything heavier than a bird…and today I got to see it in action - success, peanut feeding thwarted! #SquirrelBuster #birdfeeder

What are we doing here?

Rather than post everything on Facebook, we decided it would be better to capture our journey in one place - here we hope to share our photos, drawings and stories to bring you vicariously along with us on our adventure...
