There hasn’t been much activity in the nest box for the last few days. I keep hearing a bird land at the hole, and can see it from our kitchen door, but it wasn’t coming in. Until a couple of hours ago when a bird came in, closely followed by a second. The first instantly left and the second started nest forming behaviour and then started bring grass into the nest.

I think we may be in the third tenant after the warring parties a few days ago.

I was wondering what was happening in the nest.

I would take une liqueure over gazeuse anytime! [emoji53][emoji6][emoji484]
We used the French-derived word “gazöz” in Turkey (together with “kuaför”, “asansör”, and such)! [emoji23] And “soda” is a carbonated mineral water.
We would call that soda water.

But, nothing beats a steamy glass of salep!

We still have clown loaches because they have personality. They are social and need company, long-lived and sleep in a pile facing any way up. We are used to them now, but seeing a clown loach lying on its back doesn’t mean it is sick or dead! :D

They grow quite big so aren’t suitable for small aquariums. Our aquarium is around 40 gallons.
So kinda like a opossum only a water critter.
