手机加油站 Free Charging (Handphone?) Service

在澳门机场候机室内，发现除了上网他们还很体贴地提供了各种品牌的handphone charger。我兴奋地喂饱我那沉睡了好几天的手机，并趁机send几个sms 出去。感觉上好像更接近家了，真好！

The Mad Woman Bird

Bush Stone Curlews (Burhinus grallarius) are birds standing 50 - 60 centimetres high, with long gangly legs, large yellow eyes, and grey-streaked upper parts. They are listed as threatened species by Australia goverment.

During the day they rest squatting down on their feet, head out and legs stretched forward, under the body to blend in with the ground; they come out for food in the evening. Bush Stone-curlews have a wide-ranging diet, but prefer to feed on insects, molluscs, small lizards, seeds and occasionally small mammals.

Their eerie wailing calls at night that makes them known as the mad woman bird or screaming woman bird. Another interesting fact about them, they prefer to crouch or to stalk stealthily off, then freeze, rather than fly when disturb. Their colour makes them hard to see in grassy woodlands and farmland (their common habitat area). Therefore, this tactic works well for visual predators like raptors (and humans) but it serves little purpose with introduced feral animals that hunt by scent like foxes.

木棉花

木棉花（Bombax ceiba 俗称 cotton tree）的花语是英雄之花，所以又名为英雄树。木棉花型大，有五个花瓣。除了橙红色，还有橙黄及其它颜色。

木棉花是先开花后长叶的植物。春天时，树上只长满花朵。夏天，树上满满的绿叶。

木棉花的花色鲜艳、生命力强、一般比附近的植物高。这也许就是为什麽西汉时期，木棉花被称之为烽火树的原因。

除了木棉树果实里的棉絮可用来作衣料；在中国广东一带，居民喜欢用木棉花作为汤料或把花晒干作成药，据闻可清热去湿。
