The leaves when crushed and tasted don't really remind us of cinnamon. They seem to grow well on our property and I have recently planted several more.
Unidentified hairy caterpillar. I don't have a reference book for moths/butterflies and was unable to ID it using the internet. So - it is now in a container to be looked after until it pupates and hopefully I can ID it when it hatches. It was found on a Loropetalum bush.
Current length = 5cm
Also saw a Pacific Baza - a crested raptor this morning when having breakfast but it had moved on before we could get a photo unfortunately.
Wikipedia has a good article about it:
