Munch munch! (A rather hungry bunch)

[Ralph Turner]

A tasty snack for the workers living in the wall of our shed.

I liked this when I saw it on Instagram earlier today, Ralph. Couldn't tell what they were munching on. Now I see. (Taking chances getting that close, no?)

Thanks, Brian. They seemed fairly chilled, even let me do three short video clips of them munching away. I wasn’t sure at first, bringing the bulk of my ipad and it’s camera to within four or five inches of them, but they weren’t fazed by it at all, just kept tucking in to their ‘lunch’. Below is a pic of what remained of the core this evening.

Blimey, you wouldn't want to fall asleep in the garden around your neck of the woods!

Not only a great pair of before and after shots, but the after is somehow rather absorbing in itself.

Thanks, Pete . Luckily, if they’re left alone, they leave you alone… well, mostly. They can get a bit edgy this time year, though, I suppose (for good reason, though). I’m not so keen on the midges, mosquitoes, horseflies and ticks, though… the price one pays for the privilege of living out in the “sticks”.
