Wildlife through my/ your lense...

Still wouldn't fancy standing on the fooker.

Brownie, the floozy that she is, just welcomed two mini-Brownies into the world at some point over the last day or two.

She was there when I bought me villa over a year ago, and is still going strong, bless her.

These are the 5th brood, I think, numbers 9 and 10.

She was away this afternoon.

Presumably having sex, so got to check out the villa's two latest fluffies - since named Caramel and Toffee - while putting up her birdseed.




Was very tempted to give them a wittle Eddy-tickle on the back of the neck, but that's gotten me into trouble in the past, so left them be.

[Edmond]

After a week or so of an empty nest, during which I really should have varnished the lamp to match the rest of them, this morning there were two sharing Brownie's nest.



Who were sharing an eyepopping expression that looks like a mother suddenly opened the bedroom door on her 16 year old son and his girlfriend that snuck in through the window.

I'm not sure if they are Caramel and Toffee, or Brownie and one of her many, many fuckboys enjoying a morning of egg making.

I saw this little drama on the workshop ceiling tonight.

I don't think that I've ever seen cannibalism in geckos before, not in over 25 years in Asia.

Snapped a rare Robin today..

[misskit]

That looks so different than robins in America.

Just looked it up. Totally different birds.

I thought they were only red breasted in winter.


My whole childhood was a lie.

Both sexes have the orange breast. Trivia: the name redbreast goes back to the time when there was no word orange in English.

^ Lulu something new everyday.


I also recently learned that Santa Claus was actually thin and wore green clothes, until Coca-Cola decided to rebrand him as fat and red, as their marketing department had noticed that sales were down during the winter. Santa Claus is only known as fat and wearing red clothes nowadays, because of foking Coca-Cola, and that people with no taste were only buying them in the summertime.

Sometimes I feel like I'm living in The matrix.

The Bishop of Myra wore a red and white outfit.

So what did they call oranges then?

[Troy]

^ I think the colour was named from the fruit.

So what did they call oranges then?

Dunno. I was very young at the time.

It's a suitable research subject as you while away the hours getting back to the LOS.
