RE: Hawk trying to raid the Garden!
Love your story in pictures! That is a very different looking hawk than the ones we have here in Canada.
So glad you keep those cute little baby birds safe!
You say you ended it for there is a power shut down at 6 pm. Is that a regular thing? If so is that because there is a shortage of power there to supply everyone's needs?
Thanks for sharing your beautiful photography!
Thank you and it's the only hawk that physically climbs trees my friend.
It is alleged that the power company in South Africa has been seriously mismanaged and corrupted and this has caused serious defects to the electricity supply to the country. They have also not planned for the population explosion and although, in an effort to fix things, two new huge power stations were built at a huge cost, they don't work due to contracting corrupt contractors.
We are now on a shut down roster and the power is shut off here 3 times a day for 2 to 3 hours. This is to prevent the entire system from collapsing.
With winter around the corner, the poor is going to suffer.
Blessings!
Greetings.
First of all, I loved the story told by your photographs. I love animals and I love the stories derived from close observation of their behavior.
Unfortunatelly, sometimes we have to accept that their world moves by different rules and it is hard to side with some of them given that sooner or later they'll be "deleted from the picture" by another cute animal, as part of their natural "interaction".
I was going to ask about the programmed/scheduled power cuts.
I have been following some bloggers from SA and it is a matter of alarm that you guys are facing a crisis that resembles so much what we have in latin america, especially in Venezuela (hopefully the rest of the continent will remain as far away from our example as possible).
What you narrate about the power company there is exactly what happened here. Avarice tore the sack, as we say here. I hope politicians there do not look for a colonial scapegoat to deviate attention from their inneficiency and corruption.
Thank you my friend and I am aware about your haggard situation in Venezuela!
May I say that we follow suit, as each of our SOE's (State Owned Enterprises), are facing bankruptcy and they all have a monopoly in the services that they provide. I think that over here "avarice has not only torn the sack", but that the total sack has disappeared.
We are in for a bumpy ride my friend!
Blessings!
So sorry to hear that. Hope your people find a better path soon enough.
Blessings to you too.
Oh my goodness! I'm sorry to hear that about the power! Why must corruption cause such suffering? Are they so blinded by greed that they can not see the effects it is having on their country. So glad that you are there doing your charity work, it lightens my heart to know of good folks!
Interesting fact about the hawk! Thanks for the info!
