Playing With Dung

We went for a walk on the farm with some of the dogs yesterday evening,we have had a little bit of rain and everything is starting to go green. There were lots of dung beetles about which I am very happy to have noticed,considering all the chemical spraying from aeroplanes in our area over the citrus orchards.




To me this looked like way too much hard work!

  2. They definitely perform a worthwhile service. So are you heading into your warm season now? I know you said the rains would be starting soon. Does that make this your summery season?
