#hippyupdate

Have just moved these beauties under shelter as we are about to be smashed again with another spring storm. A (brill) borrowed idea to put bulbs in pots means you can move them to protect and also show off. Makes the annual ‘lifting’ a breeze too. Win win win.

Very excited to be working with The Landcare Led Bushfire Recovery project to install 20 nesting boxes (+monitoring). Species plan for our site: Masked, Boobook & Barn Owls, Owlet Nightjar, Feathertail, Sugar, Yellow-Bellied & Greater gliders, Microbat, Phascogale and Pardalote.

Nearly there. Inspector Alice #borderlife

Sadly too much 🌧 has delayed the installation of our 20 nesting boxes. One group here waiting for arborists to get safely into trees. Various sizes for various critters. The plastic looking ones are 3D printed. I love human ingenuity when used for good 👍 🦇 🦉🦜🪶🐝

Great news: the 20 nesting boxes now installed in 15 trees. A bit high up to get any decent photos, but we are now waiting for the lovin’ to begin! Landcare Led Bushfire Recovery

Meeting my new great nephew, Beaumont for the first time ❤️💕

Alice being very helpful in the garden. Preparing to dig the tulip 🌷 bulbs for storage.

Today Alice is supervising the Christmas trees trimming. I know it’s early but we could do with some early cheer! Ken in fine fettle again!

I love when we unpack the special angels each year 👯‍♀️
