Eve from Eve Rudkin Mindfulness

Recently they have been building nests and I’ve enjoyed watching the pairs working away at securing the sticks – there are several nests there spread over the two trees.

We are lucky to live in a part of Auckland with lots of chances to spend time in nature – enjoy!
