Having seen the varying wildlife and plants on the island the short time we have been here makes me understand why Gerald Durrell wrote his book - My family and other animals - about his experiences on Corfu in the 30's.
We have seen lizards in varying size and colour, butterflies like microlights, dragonflies like Concorde, beetles and bugs in an array of colour. Bees, wasps and hornets the size of small cats, vipers and adders slithering across the roads and best of all wild tortoises shinning across the garden and turtles in streams and water courses.
If we didn't have so much DIY to do we could make an occupation out of logging and identifying them all.
Oh by the way, the veg gardening came to a halt due to the heat and Mrs D retired to a cold shower. The seedlings will have to remain crammed in their pots for another day, watch this space.
Back to wildlife we have seen some lovely (feathered) birds and fish of all colours and size. The place is teaming with a wonderful array of wildlife and foliage. Anyway enough of this rambling there is work to be done outside now its a bit cooler - more soon D & L
