Wow I've never seen a bat close up! There seems to be a monkey population explosion here, tons of babies at the moment! They also eat everything we put on the bird feeder, really fill of mischief;) Interesting post @joanstewart!

Talking about bats, my brother retrieved one from his swimming pool on Thursday morning up in your area @lizelle, released him as soon the evening fell and he went off into the night.

Nagapie (Bushbaby) in the wrong region completely, really hope he is able to be rehabilitated into the wild again.

Vervet Monkey troops appear to be growing in number, constant fighting for territory.

LOL and I called the poor Nagapie a bat;);) That's what happens when you scan and reply to a post in between eating and get distracted by guests calling! Blush blush blush!

Ha ha @lizelle we do tend scan read from time to time, have a wonderful weekend and enjoy all your visitors over your busy time of the year.

You are surrounded by so many wildlife. That's a blessing!
I can't even imagine it sitting in my city apartment!

I could not live in a city, even suburban life is becoming a bit too hectic with development of late. Nature offers so much, may not always be pleasant it is normally entertaining.

Well, we have our earning source in this city, we didn't yet manage anything to support us if we go back to suburban and somewhere else. It's very unfortunate. And that's why I always think about how blessed you people are.
Thanks :)

What an amazing collection of wildlife in your backyard, @joanstewart! Poor Woody - our dog has nearly had a close encounter with porcupines and coyotes, but Sandy's luckily not gone through what your doggie did. And I get the feeling that Bushbaby picked you specifically, and smartly too - seems like you were their best chance to be taken care of properly. I don't get people sometimes, thinking that they can take whatever they want, and consequences be damned. And yes, I like the idea of Gremlins being real sometimes too...lol!

Hope you have an amazing weekend, Joan!

@tipu curate

Thanks for visiting and curate @traciyork Woody is on the road to recovery stitches will come out soon, he definitely does not like monkeys since this incidence so will have to walk with him during the day, fortunately they are not around at night.

Seeing a Bushbaby like this really annoyed me since one never knows how long he has been out of the wild, whether he will ever make a full recovery.

Stag Beetle really another exceptional sighting.

Have a wonderful weekend and keep your doggie safe, a run in with either porcupine or coyotes will not go well for a dog.

Oh joan i love the animals in your country, poor woody looks so sad, but the beetle my my my what a great shot. Have a great weekend dear.

Garden is always entertaining seeing something different, lots of creepy crawlies out after rain including mosquitoes which I really do not enjoy @brittandjosie, have a wonderful day.

I appreciate you sharing these beautiful creatures from your part of the world - so different from the creatures here!
Sorry to hear about your dog! I guess you really have to be careful when there are mothers and babies they are going to be protective!

Per chance he must have walked around the corner straight into them eating, bad timing. Stag beetle was the biggest (and only second) one I have seen, Bushbabies being nocturnal one seldom sees them, thanks for visiting and comment @porters

Such cool shots of the beetles and other things sorry to hear your dog get attacked i hope he heals quickly

Dog will recover soon enough he is tough just a surprise altercation, beetle was rare sighting, bushbaby good fun, have a wonderful weekend.

Thats good to know
you to have a good weekend

So sad to see that little bush baby inside a house Lady Joan. Even hedgehogs should not be kept. You are right, as the world has indeed gone mad, raping nature and once the thrill is over, discarding the animals at will.
We hold World Wildlife Conservation Day every day and always try what is best for them and not for us.
Glad that your guy is good after that vervet male attacked him. Babies around means that monkeys are trouble.
Sad news also about the beetle and I can only shake my head in disbelief.
Blessings!

I left the bushbaby photography last due to knowing people on FB don't read. Protecting animal and Rescue operators the problem of these people trying to claim what should never have been in captivity in the region. Had the audacity to advertise on a local FB page for the little one.

Never knew beetles are being poached, totally disgusted, yes conservation happens every day in my little area, least we can do.

Have a wonderful weekend and greetings to Marian as well.

At times human beings disgust me Lady Joan.
So many sell their souls for money.
Sickening to see and hear what's going on, as nothing is sacred anymore.
Marian also sends her love and greetings!
