Poor Wallaby..

A bit nippy this morning. l think we got down to nearly minus one. A beautiful heavy frost until the sun hit the house later on in the morning.........Beautiful...............but...................

Definitely the end of my Salvias!!

We have had a sad little visitor these past few days. A small wallaby who is obviously not very well. He is hanging around the house and in particular the duck pen where he spends all day sitting next to the wheat bowl .Much to Bruce's disgust! He is a bit scared of him so just stands as near as he dares and hisses!!!

NOT happy!!!!

I'd say this little fellow as toxoplasmosis. A neurological disease that eventually kills any wallaby who gets it. The most obvious signs are lack of fear of humans and daylight . This ones displays signs of both so we tolerate him around the place as the poor little thing won't last much longer.

We put the duck's wheat inside their water bowl as it deters (slightly) the 40,000 sparrows that try to come down and steal it every day! This little fellow has worked that out and despite the freezing temperature dips his paws into the water for his morning feed.

Poor little bugger....

Such a contrast to this....warm, spoilt, well fed.................

Lilli doesn't know how lucky she is.......
