Pond Pillaging

We had an exciting pre-dawn morning today. Something went on a rampage through the pond. A skunk or opossum, maybe a raccoon. Whatever it was managed to dig up the filter, which usually has a lot of pond snails in it (ummm….yummy?). The lily pads where flipped over but luckily all fish are still in there. I only saw one frog today but I bet the other was just hiding. Those guys are way to quick to get taken out like that.

I spent the afternoon at the Wild Animal Park. It was really nice out there. The Wgasa Tram was great. We just sat back and got to see lots of beautiful animals. We even saw the newest baby Giraffe, very cute! I was accosted by gang Lorikeets. It was actually fun but I wasn’t expecting to get jumped on quite that quick. They were on my head, shoulders & arms. I managed to take a photo of the ones on my arm.



They are drinking Lorikeet nectar out of a little cup I bought. If you ever make it to the Wild Animal Park you must go see the Lorikeets!

This is what our pond needs – a Meerkat. This little guy keeps watch while his buddies sleep away the afternoon.
