I've spotted a couple of bunches of bananas that are growing close by, so I think I might take a hook to them and bring them home before someone else does, they're not supposed to have much of a flavour grown here, but a free meal is a free meal 2

You look like a little Cherub I'm sorry you have just lost her - my mum died 15 years ago. Like this picture I'm sure you have lots of happy memories. Takes a while for the rawness of losing your mum to subside a bit - but easier in the knowledge that you loved each other. All the best mate. Pete 3

Popular Post Smudger Posted September 10, 2017 Popular Post Posted September 10, 2017 Every Spring bank holiday we go to Menorca ,it is a beautiful island with a protected environment policy, hear are 2 photos of the same field one taken after they had had quite alot of rain in march april(2014) the other (this year) when it has been drier. The difference is stunning there were wild flowers covering the fields for miles and butterflies moths and thousands of caterpillars making the most of the conditions. We go walking looking at the wildlife especially the tortoises (which my wife is mad about) ,always find some but this year we had a thunder storm one afternoon so we got in the car and went for a drive whilst it was still raining,we called into a little coastal village and as it was only dizzling went for a walk .Within 1 hour we found 42 torts. which because it had rained came out to get a drink as they have to make the most of any water they find. I didn't take the camera as it was unplanned ,she had her phone so have got some shots ( i will add some later she is out at the moment) We learnt alot about how they survive and it is quite rocky ground and found a hollow in the rocks that had filled with rain water and saw 3 torts heading and drinking in that spot,there was also a shaded area next to a abandoned barn that had quite a bit a spagnam type moss that had soaked up the water and 5 tortoises in that area appeared to be eating the moss but we realised they were just squeazing it in their mouth to exract the water. 5
Peter99 Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 I didn't know that there were tortoises on Menorca. Someone I know has a villa there. I'll chat to her. thanks for posting. Pete

Pete Yes loads of tortoises ,this year seen 2 different snakes( non are poisenous) loads of lizards hoopoo's large birds of prey circling may be buzzards not sure.watched a cormorant chasing fish in a little inlet and we could see the fish scattering . There is a cycle / walk trail all the way around the island 155 km called the Cami De Cavall and this is where we do most of the walking,here is a photo of the bay we stayed at Alcuafar very quiet one hotel on the beach and a taverna other side of village.
