Fun in the garden.

My first post in here and glad that I discovered another of my favorites.

Today I will show you a game of musical chairs by the wild residents in our garden.

Greetings to all and I am delighted to be here as we have an organic garden that we love to spend time in. We also have a range of birds and a large family of squirrels that are busy in the garden every day and we have formed a friendship with all in our garden.
Now for those that do not know the game of musical chairs, we played it in school and the teacher would play a piano and we would dance in a circle.
She would suddenly stop playing and we would all have to sit on a chair immediately. There were only a limited amount of chairs and the ones that couldn't find a chair would remain standing and then they were out of the game. It was much fun.
Come and watch how the animals play it.

I think that the Robin and Squirrel swopping seats gave you an idea of the game.

Robins are known as insect eaters, but they also know that the special bread that we feed our two wild Egyptian geese is very good.

The squirrels will eat most anything that they can find and here he was gnawing on a sea plant branch to get some salt into him.
We live close to the beach and my wife collects the dried sea plants on the beach for the squirrels.

Of course they are also expert nut beggars and we like to tease them before giving them a nut :)

Finally just a lovely shot of the Robin.

So this will soon all end as we are moving out, but in the 3 years that we stayed here we had much fun with the wild garden residents. All things come to an end and I am sure that we will have more fun wherever we are going.
We tried to keep the garden exactly the same as the surrounding eco-system and that is why the animals like it. I am not very fond of lawns or paving as that always delivers a dead garden. We have to have life in the garden.

My wife feeds everything, from the black ants that keep the termites away, the snails, rain spiders, robins, squirrels, geese, doves, to our plants that feed the sunbirds, butterflies, bees, and other insects.
So spending an hour in the garden, sitting watching the life around us is always such a great pleasure.

I hope that you have enjoyed the pictures and the story.

And That's All Friends.
