Seem spring arrived early in south island, warmer weather are to blame?
Flowers starting to open, daisy coming out, more birds flocked to our garden and fields, looking for somewhere to nesting. More birds in NZ than ever we saw in UK, got greenfinch, goldfinch, lots of sparrows!, lots of magpie!!! nests hidden in our gardens...
Two new members of ducks joined last week, just spotted they still there, two mallord duck, male and female, so my son named them Reggie and Pattie :o even we haven't got any pond! A hawk called "bird" after bird in Bob the builder:o that also hanging around our house & garden since we moved in.
These ducks joined the wildlife crews live in our fields including Miss Kitty, a beauitful brown hare, keeping her a secret from farmers as hares are "pest" to them mean instead of fox hunting like UK, they do hare hunting:exit She come to our garden every day..she is so huge!
I wondering what next..a deer?? We still got two sheep in the field.. they will be off to butcher soon :o
