Good day dear Blogger friends. Living in a tourist destination, I feel sorry for guests who plan an extended Christmas holiday in the Central Drakensberg, and it is raining when they arrive; it rains for the duration of their stay and it's raining when they leave. Such has been the case this December.
However, for me, cleaning my holiday accommodation on Boxing Day, I was rewarded with critters who enjoy inclement weather conditions.
I've never thought a grasshopper enjoyed wet weather, but here I snapped a teeny critter on the watery patio
Frogs I equate with water. I snapped this little critter with a gammy back leg. When he moved, the leg reverted to a more normal position
After cleaning indoors, by the time I got to the patio, the weathr had warmed and dried up for a short period
Cape Robin-chat scrummaging for bits of meat which the guests had spilt while BBQ'ing
This bird has distinctive markings...... and a very confident manner. I was standing above it while snapping with my Smartphone
I'm linking to Saturday Critters with Eileen, here
HAPPY SATURDAY TO YOU ALL!
Hello Jo,
ReplyDeleteCute captures of the grasshopper and the frog. I love the pretty bird, it is new to me. It has a colorful chest like the European Robin. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a safe and happy weekend.
Best wishes for a Happy and Healthy New Year! PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
Love your critters. We had a wet christmas week here too. The garden and I loved it.
