Making the most of the mist




Last week we had misty humid weather, slightly warmish, with barely a glimpse of the sun. Cloud swirled in the valley, slipping between fog and mist and hazy air throughout the days. 
Chameleon weather.
 'Rain' simply condensed out of the moist air leaving a wet covering on everything.  



Glistening drops decorated leaves and branches, tiny autumn baubles.



 The birds have been happy.
 Their dawn chorus has been riotous; the wattle birds chortled in alto while twenty eight parrots pinged an out of sync descant in the still air.



I caught this twenty eight parrot having an air bath. 
Preening and ruffling its feathers in the heavy misty air.
