Wildlife Corner

Thanks DAG, and yes, I did get up close and even used the macro. I made soft clicking noises and moved up slowing, step by step, until I could get these photos. I've done this several times with other animals and got closer than they would normally permit a person to.

miraflores,now that one i like a lot and the statue of Ceasar is very handsome beautiful country

rodders get back to the bottom of the class acting like that you wont get your prunes and custard :(

This little chappie was about 8cm long so I wonder how they are so invisible because we never see them. I know we always have them in the Jacarandas ... sometimes if you clap they shut up for a while. :DI can't answer your question about coming out of the ground every seven years or so,...

Pip, I think they regenerate new limbs when the moult. I know spiders do. Great pics.

definately pip, I just love taking photos werever i go, its with me, cant pop my fuji in my handbag mind its too big, so i just have my little sony with me

Could well be a resident Strongy, either way, you are lucky to see one, they`ve all dissappeared from up here. I also get long tailed tits appearing every now and then,like yours,they don`t stay long.

The cat took everything out of the nest. I have moved it higher and away from the clematis that it climbed to get to the nest. So I really hope they come back. I have 3 nest boxes in the garden 1 never used the other used by a cheeky squirrel to store nuts and this one that as only been used once.

Almost every day now, Cal is bringing into the house the most humongous locusts you've ever seen and we immediately retrieve them, some not with the success we would like.Boo doesn't seem to bother with them ... at age 12 he lived for the first half of his life in England and didn't encounter...

Kandy,Badgers are kind of like Meercats i understand, they look after each other but still sooooooo sad to see one killed :(

N G as far as I know Cithaerias haetera translates to clear or glass wings.

Now, rosa, Sweetie, that is a darling and a half ... I want one and I'm not a horse person ... are you going to do a painting?
