Wildlife in the garden

Interesting to see the wildlife in your part of the world..
and well-photographed, too ..
thank you :o)

Some good shots there.

Great shots Resi, thankyou for showing us what lives in your garden, some of which I`d never seen before...

So you get them all too, Resi. Are you secretly living next door to me? ;o)

Nice to see wildlife in your garden.

thank you all for your kind comments and no Nariz , country next door!
we have rain.....heaven

Lovely photos Resi....it is nice when you get visitors in to gather nectar and grace your flowers :)

i welcome any visitors to our garden exept that some outstay their wellcome Whistonlass
i have learned my lesson here, there is too much poisoning, trapping and shooting and maiming going on without me adding to it
i am afraid i let our dog Jesse do our dirty work for us, there is no way i could restrain her without kennelling her, chaining her up or electric collaring her 24hrs a day anyway, mind you this doesnt apply to the beasties above, more the rabbits and mice variety and sadly the snakes if we dont spot her dancing around one first.

Lovely pics Resi, is your dog part mongoose?:-)

wouldnt surprise me Bornagain ;- )))
she's one on her own, Heinz 58, the extra one being the mongoose in the mix!
she throws them up in the air and catches them, out of their element, and as they come down she bites, some strategy hu
i always have to have one eye on her to try stopping her before yet another one bites the dust

Shame she can't just appreciate them like we do...but that's dogs for you, wouldn't be without them though:-)

saw your reference to the leopard slug on one of my comments about leopard frogs...and couldn't figure out how I managed to miss it...then I looked at the date...it was the day we had our Mandy put down. I was a bit off after that and kinda lost the thread, sorry Resi. Amazing size to the slug...Your pic was of a small one???? yikes...6 inch slugs! glad we don't have them here...they must do serious damage if their size is any indication of their appetite! Agree with you about doing as little harm as possible to wildlife. Interesting to see that you have swallowtails just like ours over here. Wonder if they could fly across an ocean?
