Allium ursinum or wild garlic. Found this on my walk this evenjng. This pungent and slightly peppery plant was there in abundance growing in the damp soil. It's good to use raw in salads and cheese or to cook with. No additives or preservatives.
seeing wild rabbits always reminds me of Adams' book, Watership Down.
“Rabbits (says Mr. Lockley) are like human beings in many ways. One of these is certainly their staunch ability to withstand disaster and to let the stream of their life carry them along, past reaches of terror and loss. They have a certain quality which it would not be accurate to describe as callousness or indifference. It is, rather, a blessedly circumscribed imagination and an intuitive feeling that Life is Now. A foraging wild creature, intent above all upon survival, is as strong as the grass.”
Richard Adams, Watership Down

These are a few of the wild wood violets that have invaded our front and back yards. I believe that this type, white with blue/purple veining, are called "Confederate violets." We also have another type, a rich purple all over, which seem to reach full bloom a little later in the season. I shot this photo on 4/21/2013 using a Canon PowerShot A1000-IS.

Feral turkey populations are widely established in rough farmland throughout New Zealand.
Actually there were 34 in this flock having their breakfast of insects, nuts, seeds. My neighbor told me they roost in nearby trees. I’ve often heard explosive gobbling and loud rattling from them. They often maraud in the street and stop traffic. They’ve been here longer than us, so they always have the right of way.
If you're still reading . . . here’s some Wild (not Domestic) Turkey trivia:
— There are approximately 5500 feathers on an adult.
—They have very powerfu legs and can run at speeds up to 25 mph. Their top speed in flight is 55 mph.
—Because it is a native bird with a proud demeanor and protective instincts, the Wild Turkey was Benjamin Franklin’s preference for the national bird. Franklin considered the Bald Eagle less honorable because it can be a scavenger and rob other birds and animals for prey.
—A Wild Turkey’s gobble can be heard up to one mile away (!) (I can attest to that) and is a primary means for warning other “toms” away from his territory as well as communicating with his “harem”.
—The bald head & fleshy facial wattles can change color (red, pink,white or blue) in seconds with excitement or emotion. The flap of skin that hangs down over a turkey’s bill is called a snood, and can also change color, size, and shape based on mood and activities.
—Wild Turkeys see in color and have an excellent daytime vision that is 3X better than a human’s eyesight and covers 270 degrees. They have poor vision at night, however. This explains why they sleep in trees.
