I am still only seeing the one Skipper in the back garden. Today it was feasting on a Buttercup.

Happy Beautiful Bug Butt Thursday!

Niagara Fog...

Digging through the archives I came across this shot from August 2016 when we had visited Niagara Falls, A sudden dense fog rolled in over the whole area socking us in with a thick white haze everywhere and the mist was so heavy you needed an umbrella to stay dry. this shot was going along Niagara Parkway east of the falls. The building in the background is the Sheraton on the falls Hotel mostly hidden from view bythe mist.

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.

Hello Everyone,

I wonder how much time it takes for gulls to preen themselves everyday, it's probably substantial. If they're not preening, gulls are bickering with one another or trying to grab each other's meal! I really do get a kick out watching them.

Thanks a million for stopping by and for leaving a comment. I do love hearing from you!

Have a fantastic day!

Little Raven (Corvus mellori)

Digging for a meal near the Vic Uni Pond on this day in 2018.

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).

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!

Young fox kit caught digging holes in the sand on a local beach

This Brunfelsia bloom is proving very popular with Orange Palm Dart Butterflies : this morning, after a heavy shower, this Skipper danced on the flower for quite some time, giving me lots of opportunities to capture him under many different angles. I found this pose aesthetic as well as amusing.

was told there was gold

Happy Beautiful Bug Butt Thursday

I went out to look at the lilies today and was lucky enough to come upon this Yellow Swallowtail digging right into the center of this Orange Lily!

Never easy to get a good a good shot of them carrying out their trademark activity.

He was digging a hole to sit in.

He was watching me all of the time.

And the hole is still there.
