Happy Windows Wednesday!

I am still only seeing the one Skipper in the back garden. Today it was feasting on a Buttercup.
Happy Beautiful Bug Butt Thursday!

It was interesting watching the female dig a bed out of the snow each time they found a place rest. Here it almost looks like she is teaching the cubs how to make a cozy bed!

Dear all! I'm painfully behind right now due to other commitments. Hopefully I'll be catching up with you all very shortly 💕
Long-billed Corella (Cacatua tenuirostris)
One of a pair that were digging for graas seeds while I waited for the steam train this morning. You can see by the mud on its beak that the ground is very wet still.
It's easy to lose one's sense of time when the weather and landscape merge into one never-ending expanse of white. Last year at this time, I visited some sand dunes that I visit every few years or so. Sometimes they are inaccessible due to muddy road conditions or the sand has blown the dunes across the road beyond what my vehicle has the capacity to power through. So I decided to visit them through digging through my archives and wandering around in their amazing formations and natural undulations.
Schubert died a bit over 3 years ago in 2017 at almost 15 years old. while weeding and planting today I dug up this polaroid of him from many years ago. dunno when.
it is a sweet memory of a sweet special dog.

PETER: (makes strange noises)
aahh...uuhh...pffff...
OLEG: (talks to himself)
What's that noise?
I hope Peter isn't in trouble again.
(Sees Peter standing in a deep hole)
Good heavens, Peter... what are you doing?
PETER:
Ugh... pfff... a... pfff... digging a hole... that ugh... pfff... as you see, Oleg.
OLEG:
But... why? I don't think Mummy Marian will like this.
PETER:
Ugh... pfff... well... Mummy Marian should be happy... pffff... about what I'm doing... pfff. There's... pffff.... a dead fly on the pffff... windowsill in the kitchen for a long time now. That's .... dis..dis..ou..... err.... pff.. not nice of her. I'm going to bury it now... pfff... in the... pfff... garden.
OLEG:
You're doing well, Peter, but you can't say that Mummy Marian isn't nice. She's busy as a grandmother with baby Rune.
PETER: (crying)
Sniff... I mean... sniff... it's not that I don't like Mummy Marian, Oleg... sniff...
I just feel so sorry for the fly... sniff...and...and...sniff...it deserves to be...sniff buried...sniff.
OLEG:
Don't cry, Peter...I know you mean well.
Come on, I'll help you bury the fly.
PETER:
Oleg... Would you like to make a wooden cross for the grave?
OLEG:
Well... um... I'll see what I can do.
PETER:
Thank you, Oleg (gives Oleg a snuffly kiss).
One from my archives today. I am about to go out and will catch up later. This is straight out of the camera only cropped.

European Honey Bee (Apis mellifera)
Apart from the Bees working the Jade Plant and Daisies there are not too many other insects around at the moment.
Happy Wing Wednesday!
