aphperspective Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 23 minutes ago, gvallee said: It must have been great to watch. The whole beach seems to be moving indeed. There seems to be nurseries of very small ones (brown), all together, then the blue adults further away scuttling around in their hundreds, either on sand or in rafts in water. I was surprised that, apart from one, the gulls don't seem to bother going after them. Too many bones I suppose. I did wonder why the adults sat further up the beach nearer the treeline, one morning I was watching from my usual spot when about 300 yards up the beach none of the monkeys saw a Leopard accelerating out of the bushes, to late for one youngster. Back then Leopards and Tiger were not as rare as now, our house was about half a mile from the beach through scrub and a bit of forest and often got a glimpse of both cats. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a kid I suppose "idyllic" as I would see it now was just normal when you grow up in it. All gone now I'm afraid taken over by the scourge of the Palm Oil tree nothing but hundreds of miles of the things grown in huge blocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Traditional bucket shower in a field station in a remote arid national park in Western Australia. I'd been camping and hadn't had a shower for days so took the plunge. First you heat the water from the rainwater tank on the wooden stove indoors, then you come outdoors to the stone outhouse and pour it in the bucket, and use the rope to stop/start flow. Certainly makes you appreciate just "turning on the tap"! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colblimp Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 This is certainly no match for the wildlife pics on this thread, but it's been on the front page of two local papers so it's a favourite upload! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Rooney Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Good grief, broken Irish bridges, summer snow on mountain tops, birds enjoying French cuisine! Maybe once, I was able to see these things. Now days, if it's more than a 12-minute walk from my front door, I skip it. But here you see that I used to go anywhere and everywhere with the official backing of the US Government. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
