some old pals have been seen, assorted snail spp is nice
the new improved mouse castle with toad halls(it can choose) is different and better
the human plants are liking light
destruction and construction and not upsetting the wildlife more than minimum is a bit delicate
the chap doing all the heavy stuff has become quite taken by mice and hand feeding birds, im not sure he really understood when i grabbed a stump off him saying" careful, one of my special spiders" , i was quite brave, three times i have had Schmidt 3 hits from the false widows
"a tiny stimulus not unlike the tip of a thistle prickles, some hours of no obvious problems, then you hope the skin won't split, then you hope it will"
they are not shy like the funnel webs who are polite even though they also have a nasty nip
i think my arm was probably a flower bug, S2
and something got my foot in a S2+ way, might have been multiple wasp stings in a safety slipper
both swelled a bit
the birds are getting used to the new environment |

the improved mouse castle is approved i was a bit worried they might be upset by the alterations, the log with 3 holes makes a fine gatehouse, the extra passages and runways between and under lumps are popular
never more than a few inches from safety seems to be ideal for them, before the improvements some parts were a little exposed
although there are many nooks and crannies and tunnels, they are even happier to show themselves posing on choice stones
the birds are a bit upset at the gap between the restaurant and the trees and bushes over the alley
it is exposed in a way grin could exploit, rather than bushes almost meeting over the alley
next year a lot more co-potted nasturtiums, the pillars have almost eaten these two
very few insects of all spp, they need any help they can get, i feel rather odd having to fluff elsie, craig and shirley
thinking of insects, aphids have been depleted which goes with few ladybirds, wasps, other predators
moths and butterflies are almost not present
ditto large insectivores, eg bats
worm town is thriving
very few birds compared to 3 or 4 yrs ago,for numbers of the spp present and many spp just not present
that goes for locals and seasonal migrants |
