Psyche

Not everyone would agree (particularly my brother!) but I've always thought there was something a bit magical about moths; especially if you were walking through long grass, when the moon was bright, and moths would fly off where you walked, or seeing big furry moths resting on a window pane.

I came across these photographs of a truly amazing looking moth, found in Australia, Trichiocercus sparshalli...

Love Birds

I have such a strong respect for nature, that today, I actually made a detour on the pavement to avoid two pigeons that were courting!

Some mornings, the view outside of the kitchen window is like a scene from a Disney movie; all at once around the single bird feeder, there could be a blackbird, blue tits, coal tits, sparrows, a robin, two field mice and a couple of squirrels!

At the window...

I've been feeding the birds now and again outside our bedroom window; we did have a couple of small mice visitors eating the seed as well, and more recently there's been a squirrel foraging around. It does provide the cats with live entertainment, watching from the windowsill, though I'm quite sure they would prefer to be outside!

This is a pic of our cat Kimhari, watching a robin...

(Mouse over for a cat's thought!)
