PASSING THE BUCK








... in this case it passed me by. I was aware of the Cape Grysbok ewe that lives in the shrubbery in front of my house, but it hasn't been seen for a long time, no doubt because of the development going on in Britannia Bay and which has its terrain shrinking rapidly. So the joy of seeing it on the eve of my birthday is quite the best pressie I could wish for. I know it's a 'she' because of a quite distended midriff, which could well mean she preggies. Now wouldn't that be exciting!

Then I had another lovely surprise ... a Barn Owl landed on the roof in the middle of the day. It clearly doesn't know it's supposed to be sleeping. See! Want wildlife? Come visit the West Coast.
