Early signs of spring - despite the snow this week, the frogs have made a start on spawning.
Came across a pair of Mute swans this morning. Note the male with the slightly thicker neck and larger blackberry ( the bump just above his beak)
My debut book Whiskers, Feathers & Fur: Veterinary Tales is due for release on 14th March 2020! It will be available in ebook and paperback. The ebook is available now to pre order through all of the international Amazon sites. The paperback will be available to order worldwide from the day of release. Here is the publisher’s blurb — Around the globe, from Ireland, the UK and onto Australia and New Zealand, the author, Irish veterinarian and animal lover, Austin Donnelly, takes us with him on an amazing journey full of encounters with all sorts of animals. From a Galway postman that raises a nest of robins in his mail van, to a naughty adolescent alpaca in Tasmania causing all kinds of mischief, the stories are full of surprises and there are lots of laughs along the way. This is a perfect gift for anyone who understands that animals are people too, and appreciates the special bond between animals and their dedicated owners. The paperback will also be available to order through all good bookshops. Here is one of the first reviews- https://instagram.com/p/B7qb3Yfg0mT/ from @julesbookreviews #bookstagram #humour #memoir #book #books #booklovers #ireland #australia #uk
A large cock pheasant hanging out in the field as I had a walk earlier. Just starting to tune up the colours ahead of spring. He had no female company today, but hopefully soon.
A friendly Wattle bird stopped by whilst I was having a coffee. Check out the wattles just under the chin.
It’s 40 degrees here in Karratha. A few weeks back I put out a water bowl and fill it each day ( a couple of times ) my garden is now alive with birds! I love watching them. Check out the zebra finches and courting peaceful doves😊

Some writing tasters here.
