Wildlife in Your Life

Dadpad--

I suspect my greedy mice are now One with Eternity.

I'll take bats any day.

Praying mantis near my shed.

About as long as a pencil.

What a cutie!

Look who came to visit me while I work:

Cool!

I have a very similar scene. Snow-covered trees, and a cardinal couple who love to sit and watch me. I don't mind, I like to watch them too.

I'm fine with the spiders being eaten by wasps, really. But why did you have to go and call it a daggy sign? eh?

I like the company, too. Reminds me that there's more to life than work. They sing nicely,too,when they sing (not today).

Errrmmm.....

Daggy = beautiful, soft, warm, rounded, curved in oz speak.

yeah (nods).

I've been promoted from a 5-dee menace to a "Chick-a-dee-dee" when filling the feeders during snow squalls.

Furthermore, the Predator Alert Announcer perched on one feeder while I filled the one next to it.

ok then. that is acceptable.

Dad, you're quick with the save. Been married quite a while, huh.....

Dag, your cardinal is much fatter than Stinky's pair...

Mr. Joe declared one day many years ago that spotting a red cardinal was a sign of good luck, and so it has been ever more.

Although a small town we think of ourselves as living in an urban environment.

just now my
next door neighbour was heard screaming. I raced in with the shovel thinking she had a snake in her yard. not such an unusual occurrence given the number of vacant blocks of land around.

Apparently my neighbour had just smacked her dog for digging in her garden. When she opened her garage/shed to get digging impliments to repair the damage her dog had done she was most surprised to find this visitor.







Wombats are generally nocturnal, quite harmless unless handled and would much rather be left alone. If handled the could do a great deal of damage with sharp teeth and claws made for digging rahter large burrows in the ground.

Dadpad has all the cool animals.

Overnight the bugger dug his way under the fence into our yard. He then proceeded to decimate the veggie garden and dug his way under another fence on his way out. Letting the chooks out in the process.

Gaaaa!

but he's so cute! and a vegetarian, it seems. that must count as a bonus somehow.

Very cute, the little thief!

Wombats might replace hamsters in the new A2K.

Chooks?

I'm guessing you might mean chickens, but I have no idea (and I don't want to google it

There are several wombats currently posting.
Aussie ladies will recognise who they are.



Correct guess but most in Aust would recognise the slang.
