Somewhere to play.

The day of the tortoise.

On a side note - yesterday, afternoon, the Prince and I was standing, chewing fat about this and that, when he saw a rock pigeon on the ground - alive, yet hurt. It flew off rather lopsided, as Prince tried to catch it, and landed in a tree a little way off. Consider the fact, the hunt took place on the 2nd April, and still the wounded are trying to get home.

Heard of the Japanese soldier who was still fighting WW2, many, many years after the war ended ?

----- The last Japanese soldier from World War 2 to surrender was Captain Fumio Nakahira, who held out until 1980 (35 years after Japan surrendered to the US) before being discovered at Mt. Halcon, Mindoro Island, in the Philippines. ----- This blog is written and edited by Michael N.

Some never give up.

Today, one solitary baby tortoise was found. There are signs which indicate there should be more roaming around. The way to see where they have bred out is a oblong hole in the ground, about one inch wide by two inch long. Then the digging starts, and sometimes more will be found, some still in eggs, or trapped by stones, or busy getting out.

The one nest had a lot of eggs, most were attacked by ants, which fed on the egg's inner food. Only the outer shells, filled with debris and sand were still there.
