Hello – first of all an update on the little bats (ducklings)
They went off to a wildlife carer this morning as another one didn’t make it. 🙁 The lady assured Gudrun that she did everything right… but its just luck of the draw sometimes with these things. A whole batch might make it or die. But we can be a little comforted by the fact they would have had zero chance motherless next to a highway. The last three have a chance.
They are a wood duck – which go up trees which would explain the little bats climbing tendencies!!
Anyway – after a little running about doing this and that today, the tide and weather were about right to get out for a quick circuit around Anniversary Bay.
After several weeks of not doing this I very much felt every step of the uphill bits!!
The skies were dramatic and threatening, but no rain!
Lots of new patterns on the beach with the recent heavy rains.
I love the sand art so much!
The runoff cut a deeper trench into the beach on its quest to the sea!
Occasionally the sun popped out too!
Time to put the camera away and slog up those hills and get home. I had a lovely leg of lamb given to us yesterday by our neighbour (lucky us!!) so I had to get back in time to roast it up… and mmmm dinner was good!
Hope you had a great day too!
Wow, loved the photos. Dinner sounded good too. What a day!
Thank-you!! So glad we went out… its steadily pouring and dark today! Glad I have leftover lamb roast to have for dinner as I have zero interest in leaving the house today!!
Love your puddle selfie, Lisa.
Thanks Carla!! That was a bit of fun!
Sorry to hear about the ducklings, but like you said they had zero chance before. Fingers crossed for the last 3.
I live miles from the coast but I always fancy a walk on the beach after seeing your photos 🙂
Thanks Hazel… I will give the carer a call in a day or so to see if the others have pulled through!! I really hope so!!
Oh the walk outside was so refreshing! Glad we did it too as today… blah! 🙂
