I have been watching the latest David Attenborough series, Life Story. Natural history programmes like this never cease to fascinate me. Animals, both large and small, are amazingly observed demonstrating natural behaviour I wouldn’t imagine would be possible.
The episode I watched today featured a group of crabs, of different sizes. The crabs had outgrown their shells and had to swap their living quarters, between themselves. Prior to the exchange, they would line up, in order of size, to ensure the trade takes place successfully. There was no crab solicitor in sight.
I generally believe that animals are more intelligent than some humans, which is disturbing and a little sad. If you don’t agree with my theory, watch any of Attenborough’s many masterpieces, followed by an episode of The Jeremy Kyle Show…
Is this hermit crab more intelligent than the man below?

I discussed what it could possibly be with family. I also posted the photo on a web forum for bird...

Our friend, the pigeon is back!
Claire took this wonderful video of him/her having a drink.
All that is missing is David Attenborough's dulcet tones.

Humans are stupid. Well not all of them. There are exceptions. For example, I'm not stupid and neither are you for reading my blog.
Believe it or not, this isn't a rant about the Tory Cabinet or the selfish cretins who are still to grasp the concept of 'lockdown' - although those two sets of individuals,...

We have been getting a frequent visitor to our garden.
Unfortunately, I think he or she is a little too big for the bird box on our garden wall!
