They find a sheltered location like a crevice in a tree, rock pile or buildings, to protect their fragile wings from the weather elements. Then they perch there and go dormant and … [Read more...]

Weather's incredible dance of extremes... Just like that - it's winter!... Yesterday I was walking barefeet in the Nature trails, +9 degrees Celsius and mostly sunny... I savoured it fully, for at this time of the year especially, that can change from one day to the next... I woke up this morning... and my current world is suddenly a winter wonderland...!...
