Good morning all!



The number of fruit bats is at nuisance levels in many places. Many Aussies are in favour of a cull. They were dreadful in Sydney when my husband was based there. A little natural selection in this case might work well.

Yes...probably true for a lot of critters. We are hoping the extreme cold temps that we had here the last two weeks will help knock back the nasty deer ticks (carriers of Lyme Disease). Possibly the same with the non-native Florida iguanas, etc.that are dropping due to freezing temps. Kind of like Sir Darwin and “natural selection.”

Except that what you get in the next freeze is a frost resistant population that continues to expand... You can’t win really.

My daughter is an ecologist and spends a lot of time in the field. Ticks in the areas she works in are a huge problem. She always has a tick remover on her and ends up having blood tests at regular intervals.

Good afternoon, all! :):<3:
Just a quick pop in to say,'Hi!'
Christmas finally over, a clearing, cleaning and tidying day today.
Quite glad it's done for another year, it's really very tiring.
And that is why i have had no Christmas decoration this year ! :D I bought a little conifer that was decorated for the dining room table and that was it. :)
Without children Christmas is not so important, me think.:oops:
