MegaSack DRAW - 6pm Christmas Eve - LIVE on our YouTube Channel
God it's amazing to see the resilience of some creatures.
I just looked out of my window and a fly flew into a web, the spider immediately struck and sunk it's fangs into it, to turn it to soup.
As it was about to wrap it in a silken blanket along came a wasp and decided the spider looks like a great juicy meal for the young larva back at the nest. A the wasp attacks the spider releases it grip on the web and descends very rapidly on a new strand of silk, the wasp leaves...
A few minutes later i watch the spider climbing back up it's escape rope, it's hard going as it's minus all four legs down one side.
Then the wasp returned and i didn't see the spider again..
nature is red in tooth and claw (or fang and sting as the case may be...)
This morning - cycling on my commute, along a canal path, all misty and everything covered in dew.
I had a Swan slowly glide next to me coming in to land on the canal.
For a few seconds our pace was matched as I checked out the Swan and I got the feeling he was doing the same, then he flapped his wings a couple of times and landed gracefully in front of me in the misty canal!
What a buzz that was!
