Wildlife Corner
Re: Wildlife Corner
What a wonderful country where they send a "Fresh and Clean" van to tidy up your cockatoos and then release them back into the wild - all nicely scrubbed up.

Re: Wildlife Corner
The front garden in all its glory! I know that to a purist this is not a garden but a mess but it's full of life and I noticed last night that the local bats approve as well, there were a couple foraging for insects at dusk.....
(You can hardly see on this pic but two small bees were having sex on the large leaf. Or at least I assume that's why one was riding on the back of the other!)

Re: Wildlife Corner
Worker bees which are the majority that you see foraging are all infertile females.
I have seen the same behaviour in our back yard and on closer inspection the bees were off loading pollen from one to another. I suppose it will be quite easy for a very active worker to get overloaded to the point that it overwhelms the ability to fly. Call a friend and get them to help carry the shopping.
