The world is a difficult place right now. I can not advocate turning a blind eye to struggles and hardships, but for those who've had an eyefull and need a break, I made a nice little game about cute bees that might make your day a little brighter <3 https://cheeseness.itch.io/hive-time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4M6-zkLN6Y

Lots of sleepy bee friends out today, foraging before the rain sets in, and... wait, that's not a bee!

Normally when I see these sleepy friends interacting with each other, they're very slow and gentle. This morning, I think I witnessed a tussle, where two seemed to do some irritated buzzing at each other, and wrestle for a moment before one flew off. The other preened for a moment on the edge of this flower before flying away itself.

Nests and babies

Baby wattlebirds have left their nest too!

I haven't spotted them, but I saw an adult butcherbird enter the nest with some breakfast this morning, so the chicks must've hatched \o/

Vigil

Didn't see the magpie chick this evening. I think it's still in the nest. I did get my first glimpse of one of the baby butcherbirds (I think there are two) during feeding time. Both parents were attending today, and appeared to be sharing food between them to both take feeding duty.
