visitors

These critters wandered near enough to the house to be within camera lens distance.

This guy stopped by the water trough in the back pasture.

One of the herd that visits occasionally.

This year, there were only 5 of these but that's better than none.

Swallows resting on the front porch rail.

Hubby captured this guy out the kitchen window.

The pukekos that live on my road don't get down to my house very often.

Fortunately, this guy didn't leave any scent behind!

    your top guy is a White-faced Heron, one I "met" wen I visited Queensland. :)

    I think I saw that swallow too. Probably a Welcome Swallow.

    Nice memories :)

    Hello Betty.
    Lucky for you, to be able to photograph from the interior of your house, animals such as the heron the rabbit the pukeko the swallows and certainly others. The swallows are so cute! The bug here we call him a cobbler. Can you see why?

    All the best!

    I wondered what species of heron that was. Now I know - White faced. We dont get that one, but we do get Barn Swallows - hirundo rustica, same as yours I think. They make the world a smaller place.

    We share a couple of the same visitors. I have not seen a heron here yet, but a wood duck pair flew in today and they are a wonderful little tree cavity nesting duck..... Michelle

    I have seen quite a few monarch caterpillars around but very few seemed to have survived. I'm not sure why as there are plenty of swan plants and not too many wasps this year.
