March Storm: Can't go to Work? Bush Walk!

PeerTube
Ok, no sunshine, but went outside anyway. It helped.

Here's the #Spectra #Peertube link to the same video. Because it is a longer video (10mins) and so a larger file, the YT video is 720p and the Spectra one 480 to reduce the size.

Hanging with Cows- Slow Walks on the Farm, Country Life

PeerTube
Video from slow walks on the farm. Neighbours have cattle there over the summer. I think the cows / calves find it weird to see me on foot, usually they take off if I get close (sometimes calves approach but mothers intervene). These ones were more curious, so I spent a little time watching+ talking to them- they never did answer!

Lots of Ladybugs this autumn! This little person (Coccinella septempunctata
Seven-spotted Lady Beetle) was wandering around on the bark of a fallen log I was cutting for firewood, so I lifted that piece of bark and moved it out of harm's way.

This woodpecker has been visiting the apple-crabs (between apples and crab-apples in size and flavour-these are sweet and delicious). It flies in with a great cackling noise and settles on the tree to peck at apples for a while before flying off to season its meal with its regular fare-insects.
