The very rare "Stick Bird"

This fellow has been keeping us company for a while now when we sit on the back patio - he is there in the morning, at lunch time and in the afternoon - all day really! He never moves and is always in the same spot. Have a look at him close up here Stick Bird
We are really going to miss him when the palm branch finally drops off the tree:)
He's so lifelike that we really have to convince visitors that he isn't for real and that he is nature's own art work
