Another incredible morning with Bobby the cuckoo. Several time the bird came in front of me and swallowed leatherjackets. This time Bobby was facing me and eat the larvae. Amazing to be able to take those pictures. The bird is 4 to 5 metres away…

At first I did not see this bird. it look exactly like the ploughed crop. The bird was feeding. it was catching worn and larvae.

Yesterday, I have found a “monster” in my garden! The size of this caterpillar was incredible. 8 centimetres long and his head was the size of a small marble…..Look at those teeth!
