My, what a big nose you have....

My, what a big nose you have....

This moth flew into our house on Sunday. He was pretty non descript to the point that I failed to identify him. maybe he is a micro moth. Anyway he sat still on some sunflowers and I took his portrait. Impressive nose don't you think! and unlike a butterfly no hairs on his eyes. He does sport a good bit of underarm hair though...

Got to Love a Sparrow

Got to Love a Sparrow

This year has been a bumper year for sparrows. I counted over 80 in the garden today at one time. Many of them youngsters. They queue up at the feeders and then seems to rest in the bushes. As if they are waiting to get hungry again!

Andian Bear Tremarctos ornatus at Durrell in Jersey. I think this is the female and she held this apple so delicately while eating it.

In a new enclosure at Durrell you can find these guys. Hamerkop. Wonderful looking birds that build the most massive nests.

Sulawesi Macaque - 4 weeks old

This little chap was born about a month ago at Durrell. You can clearly see why we humans didn't evolve from an ape ancestor. I mean, we look nothing like them!
