A number of hens have gone clucky, it's that time of year again. Locating the outdoor nests is always a challenge as not only are they well hidden the hens are careful to come and go unnoticed.
Today's nest has 15 eggs slowly turning into 15 tasty chickens.
Our efforts to create a hospitable environment for bumblebees seems to be paying off. The fuzzy little creatures can be seen on almost any of the numerous types of flowers we have spreading across the property. To top if off we discovered a nest inside the concrete block wall of the chook house and piggery.
There is a contented buzzing humming emanating from the wall and every now and then individuals can be seen bumbling in and out.
