My routine is, wake up about 5am (depending on when sunrise is, so it varies month to month).

I feed my cat & boil the kettle. While the kettle is boiling I get the food out for the birds. Fresh fruit (pears & apples) & seed in the tree at the front for the seed & fruit eaters. Then I take my cup of tea & sit on the back balcony, watch the sun rise & feed the meat eating birds (magpies & currawongs).

While I am having my cuppa I complete an ebird survey of all the birds I see & hear. I have been doing this every day (that I am home) whether it's raining, a frosty -5c or sunny morning for the last 5 yeas. I usually sit outside for 30-40 mins, but if it's raining or really cold, then I only do the minimum (20 mins). As of this morning I have 1,1959 completed checklists in ebird.

It's a nice relaxing way to start the day & connect with nature.

After I finish outside I have breakfast, read the news online & answer emails, before heading off to work.

You do what works for you Fleur. I personally love the sound of your routine NOT the so called experts but then again each to his or her own I guess.

Loving Shadows exploits ( do miss Jack though as I do my Rosie xx)

All the best Fleur and can't wait to read the next release plus Dave's continuing story.
