Late summer days here. We just returned from a little trip to Bitou and while there visited the Birds of Eden.
I don't like caged birds but this sanctuary is different. It is the largest multi species bird "aviary" in the world. It is huge. The birds are unwanted and would not survive in the wild and this beautifully designed area gives them a chance to live a fairly natural life.
The construction and the landscaping are very interesting.
The birds, an eclectic mix of indigenous and exotics, are fascinating.
Back at the farm the bees that have taken up residence in the owl box got a fright yesterday when the whole thing fell out of the tree in the wind......I guess the honey has made it too heavy. So now we have a bunch of rather cross bees! I think the plan will be to move them up to the area where the other bees live and try to tempt them to take up residence in a proper hive.
The new school year, autumn term, has begun and the Star Literacy programme will be starting in February. We volunteers will once again be listening to reading and encouraging the learners to explore and enjoy books, reading and writing.
