Instagram ; some more images, this time from my Instagram feed, some of these might be in the blog, but not all. Still finding my way around social media and trying to decide how best (and where) to show my images.

In celebration of ⁠National Insect Week. ⁠
Scarlet Tiger Moth, I'm told by a friend that this one is fairly newly minted, very handsome and striking with the wings open, this is the first time I have seen one in my garden. In fact, i think it's the first time I've seen one ever.....I do have a lot of comfrey growing in various places around my garden and I'm told that this is one of their major food sources. ⁠

Join me on a virtual trip to Kenya, before all our

Join me on a virtual trip to Kenya, before all our lives changed we would have been there this week. There are more images on my website blog (link in bio), also links to the project below.⁠
⁠
Whilst discussing alterations to our travel plans with the Safari company we use in Kenya, we learned that the company who organised the trip then, Sunworld Safaris, and who planned the yet to be taken trip has undertaken an outstanding initiative along with Jami Tarris in order to support the local communities, help protect the wildlife and support their staff. Full details of the project can be found on the website for the Community Wildlife Fund project.⁠
⁠
Please, please (please.....) check out the CWF website, , read, learn, donate if you can, and definitely spread the word, share the links, support this worthwhile project in any way you can. If you have any questions about the goals and aims of this project read this article 'Covid-19 and Wildlife in Kenya: Crisis and Hope ' by Jami.⁠
⁠
In this difficult time where everyone is affected in some way by both the impact of the pandemic and the impact of painful and abhorrent events in the US this project is a shining example of how people can work together to help our selves, our communities, our wildlife and our planet.⁠

Staying with the Galapagos a while longer, so much

Staying with the Galapagos a while longer, so much to see, so many wonderful animals and an ever changing landscape as you travel around the islands. The Waved Albatross on Espanola Island, Galapagos, there are approximately 30,000 of these magnificent white and brown birds during breeding season. This is the vast majority of the world’s population. ⁠

From my garden to the… Galapagos Islands. I’ve given the bees the day off as I am processing images for my new website, today it is the turn of the Galapagos Islands and all the amazing wildlife and natural phenomena.⁠
⁠
The Galapagos Sea Lions were on most of the islands we visited and they are incredibly photogenic and so peaceful to be around. The odd rush and bellowing in defence of territory/harem by the beach master was really the only thing that disturbed the peace. ⁠
⁠
BTW, the link to the new website is in my bio of you want to visit.⁠

during the lockout/lockdown/stayhome/staysafe of the past few weeks, l have been keeping busy, pursuing small creatures around my garden by day (no creature harmed in this pursuit I might add), and creating a new website by night, and I now bring for your viewing pleasure ... the new website... a lot of new images, as in taken recently, plus a lot of new images to the light of day, that is dragged out of my hard drive and onto here. All being well, the plan is given time and energy, I'll keep adding more new galleries and images as time goes on. As the saying goes, I'll keep you posted... the link to the website in is my bio⁠
⁠
Clearly this creature wasn't in my garden this week, we met during a trip to Botswana last year.⁠

Cleared our garden pond of most of the cloying duck weed, and lo and behold we were rewarded with a view of one of the resident newts. Stopping to watch after seeing this one coming up for air we actually saw 6 different individuals so clearly our pond is a thriving community.⁠

The Butterflies are out...! ⁠
⁠
Spent most of the last 2 days following various butterflies around the garden, so far loads of orange tips, a few large whites and a couple of common brimstone. I'm sure in the coming warm days here will be more.⁠

Bee-Fly - normally these creatures are flying way

Bee-Fly - normally these creatures are flying way too fast for me to get a decent picture, even hand held. This one i found upside down in a feeder bin in the chicken run. I rescued it and put it into my bug hotel hoping it would recover. Next morning it was still there and obliged by staying still for me to get this shot. When I checked this afternoon it was gone, hopefully zooming around pollinating as they do. ⁠

!! ****There is no doubt that Australian people and wildlife need help right now, I grew up in Australia and it makes my heart hurt so much to see the devastating losses to people and wildlife as a result of the bush fires. ⁠
⁠
My aim for this post to get help on helping Australian Wildlife, I have donated $500 AUD to WIRES (www.wires.org.au) PLUS.... $1 AUD for every like or share this post gets by the end of one week (which will be Wednesday the 15th Jan). To save my bank balance a bit I will need to cap my personal donation at some point up to a further $500 AUD. Having said that I'd be thrilled to get >500 likes as that would mean this post had reached a lot more people. Whether you 'like' or share this post maybe use this post as a prompt to support WIRES directly or any other organisation that is providing assistance to those affected by the bush fires.⁠
⁠
Please help me to help the Australian wildlife and like or share this post. ⁠
⁠
The Red Tailed Black cockatoo epitomises the Oz bush for me, almost prehistoric in flight and a call that once heard is never forgotten. This image taken on the Darwin foreshores a few years ago.⁠
⁠
I have tagged a few people whose work I admire and follow and who have many (many....!) more followers than I in the hope that they will help me in get this message out and get more help for Australian wildlife one way our another.⁠
⁠
Thank you in advance ⁠
Sue⁠

starting 2020 as I finished with 2019... with the big cats. Today a female leopard that we were able to stay with for a couple of hours. At first she was content to sleep in the shade but later in the morning she started to move around, not particularly with any apparent goal in mind, mostly tree/shade hopping as the day warmed up.⁠

ending 2019 with what else but a cat, the lovely cheetah and one of her cubs. I trust everyone has a happy and safe new year celebration, and here's to more wonderful images on instagram in 2020 and more fantastic wildlife encounters wherever we are. ⁠

Staying with the cats for a while yet, among the many fabulous encounters we had in Botswana was seeing this Cheetah mother and her 2 cubs, this was taken the second day we saw her, in the early morning resting in a termite mound. We had not seen such small cubs before so were thrilled to see this pair.⁠
