I did some simple rock balancing while exploring this place with interesting rock formations. The area was once a mountain, but after millions of years of erosion, it was ground down and mostly erased. Enormous glaciers from the last ice age polished what was left of the mountain, leaving smooth granite hills and dropping large deposits of sand and gravel along the way. Even though the mountains are long gone, people still gave them a name "The Grenville mountains"
This female was unfortunate in that it lost one of its young within days of hatching but at least managed to successfully rear the other.

Agapanthus africanus is a native of the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa.
Amaryllidaceae
Very popular in gardens in Australia, as it is hardy plant, easy-going, drought- and heat-hardy, with stunning summer flowers.
A few weeks ago about a dozen turkeys and half a dozen guineas all hatched on the same Sunday. Impeccable timing!
Have been keeping an eye on a pair of Coots that have been building a next. Visited the nest today and this was one of the amazing sight that I saw.
The Cape weaver (Ploceus capensis) is a resident breeding weaver of Southern Africa, it is almost endemic to South Africa.
The Cape weaver is a stocky 17 cm long bird with streaked olive-brown upperparts and a long pointed conical bill. The breeding male has a yellow head and underparts, an orange face, and a white iris. The adult female has an olive-yellow head and breast, shading to pale yellow on the lower belly. Her eyes are brown, but 19% will have brown eyes. Young birds are similar to the female.
The Cape weaver occurs in open grassland, lowland fynbos, coastal thicket and farmland, so long as there is permanent water and trees. In the more arid, hotter regions it is restricted to upland areas and it never occurs in forest.
The Cape weaver is omnivorous with a diet that is evenly divided between animal and plant matter, particularly seeds, fruit and nectar. It forages in a variety of ways on the ground, in tree foliage, gleaning food from bark and hawking insects in the air. Its a relatively long bill is adapted to feeding on a wide variety of food items and there is a long list of items that this species has been recorded as eating, including various insects, spiders, seeds, nectar, and fruit. The females appear to enjoy a more varied diet than the males. Cape weavers are generalist nectar-feeders and in South Africa they are the major pollinators of aloes.
When not breeding the Cape Weaver forms flocks, and it congregates in large roosts throughout the year, these may be shared with other birds, including other species of weavers. In some areas they desert the breeding colonies, returning at the commencement of the following breeding season. Anting has been observed and these birds bathe, even in rain or mist.
The Cape weaver is a polygynous, territorial colonial nester, each males may have up to 7 females in a single breeding season. The males normally form colonies of between 2-20 males.
Each male builds multiple nests within a small territory, which he vigorously defends against other males. Females test the quality of the construction of the nest by pulling at material on the interior; if it is acceptable the female adopts a hunched posture to indicate her readiness to mate. The nest is built by the male in about a week, and is a kidney-shaped, fully waterproof construction made of broad strips of grass or reeds that are woven together.
Once a female accepts the nest the male builds an entrance tunnel at its base, while she lines the inside of the nest with fine grass and feathers. The nest is usually attached to the tip if a tree branch, often exotic species such as eucalyptus or willow or it is built in tall wetland vegetation such as reeds Phragmites or reedmace Typha capensis, on utility lines or on fences overlooking water.
It lays a clutch of 2-5 eggs, the eggs are laid in June–February with a peak in October to January in summer rainfall areas and August–October in the winter rainfall zone of the Western Cape. The eggs are incubated by the female for about two weeks and after hatching she broods for the first few nights, after which she roosts in an adjacent unused nest. At first the chicks are fed by the females, but when they are older the male takes up a greater role in providing food. The young fledge at about 17 days old.
The Cape weaver is subjected to brood parasitism by the diederik cuckoo. The nests are sometimes heavily infested with parasites such as mites, and the fledglings can be parasitised by ticks. Disused nests may be reused by Cape sparrows and African dusky flycatchers.

The eggs that some misguided bug laid on the tupperware in my kitchen sink are hatching this morning. Maybe this will get me closer to an ID: Any idea what these are? I'm sure momma was supposed to lay the eggs near some food for them, but failed miserably. Clearly, plastic doesn't fit their needs.
HANDMADE
Rectangular handmade wooden craft 50 x 12 cm
I had this piece of wood and I didn't know what to do, then I came up with the idea of creating something fun. I've pyrographed three hens, one on top of the other, that are hatching eggs. The first, in the waiting, is knitting, the second is reading a book and the third is playing on the cell phone waiting for the eggs to hatch. I had a lot of fun creating it and although it took a long time the work satisfied me a lot and I hope you like it too!!!!
I put a hook to be able to attach it to the wall, you choose the room, I think it is adaptable to any room. I finished the work with a layer of transparent protective paint (topcoat) to make the wood's design and veins brighter.

Well, hello, there!

Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp,
but which, if you will sit down quietly,
may alight upon you.

I found quite a few Tent Caterpillars hatching today. The little egg cases are numerous but easily overlooked. You have to look really carefully to see the babies :)
