My #Robin friend Little Mate. He's busy defending his territory at the moment, mostly by singing and chasing off the occasional intruder. But he likes to take a break to snack and chat when I drop by.
In #Bath #Somerset #UK.

traffic jam from Wamuran to Caboolture and Sunshine Coast to Caboolture round 9am today was dreadful - obviously everyone is driving to Caboolture to catch train or get work or attend school or go to hospital or go shopping - jobs, services and shops need to be more in the regions to stop this traffic jam - sadly everyone commutes from their regional centres to hubs to get infrastructure and services and shops - poor urban planning leads to congestion on roads which will only get worse as population increases up to #brisbane #olympics and beyond #trafficjam #caboolture #moretonbay #sunshinecoast #somerset
