Backyard Wildlife

Are you socially isolated? Do the pressures of modern life get you down? Do you want to connect with others with similar interests and needs?

The answer to your dilemma is not more time connected to world via the screen but to turn off your phone, walk away from your computer and connect to life and nature, right here, right now in the paddock, in the forest, in the bush and of course in your backyard.

Connectivity with nature costs very little, the service is more reliable (considering the quality of our digital networks, it’s not that hard really) and doesn’t become outdated within a year or two.

The benefits of connecting to nature are immense to your health and wellbeing, do it today and you’ll receive our bonus bluebird of happiness! A corny little intro perhaps, but too true in these days of the hyper digital lifestyle.

Have you noticed that signs of Spring are well and truly upon us? Blossoms are blooming, our feathered friends are fraternising, and snakes are a slithering. Welcome Swallows (those fast-little insect eating birds who love to make their straw and mud nests in your veranda or shed) are starting to build their nests.

For us personally it’s been a big time for the small birds with Red Brow Finches, Spotted Pardalotes, White Browed Scrub Wrens and Thornbills to name a few!

In the flowers Hoveas, Bacon and Eggs, Yellow Pea Bush, Acacias and so many other heath and woodland plants are flowering prolifically, Wildflower Season is upon us!

Its early, but Spring is well and truly here and my challenge to you for the next month (if you’re not already doing these things) is to get out there and plant or make habitat, take photos of nature’s wonders, start a nature diary to make note of what you’re seeing and when.

Its time more than ever to get involved with nature this Spring, enjoy yourself and make some genuine connections on the world wide web of life!
