mr brack and little bracket shopping together is fun to see, i does not seem long ago that little bracket was suspected and then brought for its first adventure to the restaurant
the very grey sparrow chicks are still about, i will try to work out exactly which two are the parents and see what batch 2 look like
they are noticeable a different colour to yer average sparrow chick
i have a few new bee snaps i need to go through, but not many spp so far, maybe about 5 + the different roles and ages among each spp.
the white tails have nectar fans and pollen harvesters+a lot of different sizes, shapes,colour detail and the older ones get to look like a victorian velvet covered sofa in patina terms, some get to a very shabby chic stage
yesterday there was a white tail dangled on the outside of the shed in a small amount of spider silk, whatever subdued that has quite a nip on it, they are a decent size, strong and hairy and armed in extremis
my suspicion is false widow but i need to get snaps to make a positive id
i recon i can remember to look before i touch but it does make it interesting thinking i might be a short distance from a nasty bite
a few hoverflies so far
far too many horse flies closer to the river, twice on the scalp before i noticed it
skin so soft should make the "short bits" nice and supple but jungle formula or neat deet/dmp mix seems to work as well, or take a short haired hound as a distraction
bitey and or toxic wildlife i can manage without even if they are fascinating, nice ones that only bite each other or are vegan if a bit stampy when cross are fine
thinking of fierce, male sparrows can be really savage if another looks at their wife's beak
i have seen some fairly serious attacks recently, i am not sure how well feathers act as body armour from stout pecks to the back of the head |
