Rainy June continues

So I have some other creatures to share with you today - not just the birds on the nature cam (oh and the rats and hedgehog too haha).

We are starting to get little critters inhabiting the nettles now - here is the first little guy:
Not sure what he will become but it is certainly not a butterfly and mummy doesn't think it is a moth either.

Mummy has started letting Henry have the run of the garden - the same as Doris, as he keeps getting out of his run - besides the run is needed to stop Doris from eating certain plants. Here he is enjoying the grass whilst trying to hide from us.

And the bees are loving the Radish that is growing uncontrollably - self seeded of course haha.


But I do have some pictures from the nature camera too :)
Mummy put out some eggs and also some falafal that she didn't eat. Well the crows certainly know what they prefer - but they did come back for the egg.


The magpie also came for some egg that was in the bird bath, but it was just out of show of the camera. Doris had taken to letting herself out - mummy didn't get home until gone half six on this particular day. But Doris was a good girl and didn't go out under the gate.



Mummy came home to see this:

So mummy moved the camera to try and catch her getting out - and this is what we saw


but she hasn't let herself out again since!

Spider drops

Ooh hello everybody, Have you come here from mummy's blog? To find out about this picture It is a pretty poor picture as the camera refused to focus on the tiny little spider. So GavGav got interested in spiders over a year ago now. He still has a slight phobis of them, but his way of overcoming it is to find out more aboout them, and the fear transforms into interest instead. It seems to be working as he likes to go out with his sonic toothbrush, making the spiders lunge out to try and grab it, and he has also got himself two taratulas. Hmm it would appear that we do not have any photos of them yet, so I shall have to get some to show you! Anyway, this interest means that they are more likely to notice spiders doing funny, or unusual things - although mummy has always been quite good at paying attention to any animal of any shape or size. Last summer she nearly planted an extra large garden spider. She dug the hole, upended the plant out of its pot, and the spider fell into...

Let's finish up May

Starting off with a couple of videos of the Blue tits before the babies fledged. They were in and out constantly!! Then we had Mr greedy crow, showing off to the camera about how many suet balls he can fit into his beak at once haha. This Magpie was finding something very tasty - we are pretty certain it was the live mealworms mummy put out and not a baby blue tit though. This little madam was winding the Blue Tits up - luckily the baby's were at the fledging stage before she found the nest! Some pictures of the pairs coming into the garden. Then the wagtails started bringing the babies in :) Flopped Doris! Just thought this was a great picture. And some baby pictures, as well as the blackbirds and hedgehogs. Right bedtime xxx

Introducing Myself

Image
Hi there, My mummy has finally decided to write a blog for me - so I can tell you all about the Nature we see around here. First I would like to introduce myself. I am a Sulphur Crested Cockatoo, with some mino behavioural problems. My mummy got me from a pet shop when my previous owner died, and the remaining family were unable to look after me. This was about 8 years ago now! My mummy thinks that I may have had some trouble with the families younger children as my wings were very severely clipped (so that it took 3 years for them to grow back correctly) and I panic if ever I have to sit on somebodies arm, or shoulder, or pretty much anywhere (except maybe their knee if they are petting my head - for a brief time). I have some noisy little parakeets that share a room with me. They are in two cages of pairs, and they are loud when they get started (although GavGav tells me I am much louder and more annoying - I am not sure I actually believe him). I am not allowed to be in the sa...
