This was taken last summer at Hayling Billy Nature Trail. I saw this beetle looking rather full and covered in pollen. It seems to be sitting at the top of the flower with a very silly satisfied grin on it’s face.

The Southern Carmine Bee-eater (Merops nubicoides) (formerly Carmine Bee-eater) occurs across sub-equatorial Africa, ranging from Zululand and Namibia to Gabon, eastern Zaire and Kenya. This species, like other bee-eaters, is a richly coloured,striking bird, predominantly carmine in colouration, but with the crown and undertail coverts blue. Its usual habitat included low-altitude river valleys and floodplains, preferring vertical banks suitable for tunneling when breeding, but readily digging vertical burrows in the level surface of small salt islands. This is a highly sociable species, gathering in large flocks, in or out of breeding season. They roost communally in trees or reedbeds, and disperse widely during the day. Nesting is at the end of a 1-2m long burrow in an earthen bank, where the lay from 2-5 eggs. This is migratory species, spending the breeding season, between August and November, in Zimbabwe, before moving south to South Africa for the summer months, and the migrating to equatorial Africa from March to August. Their diet is made up primarily of bees and other flying insects, and their major hunting strategy involves hawking flying insects from perch. Perches may include branches of vegetation or even the backs of large animals, such as the Kori Bustard. They are attracted to wildfires because of the flushed insects, and are often seen circling high in the air. /

New Holland Honeyeater / Scientific name: Phylidonyris novaehollandiae / Family: Meliphagidae / Order: Passeriformes / Description / The New Holland Honeyeater is mostly black and white, with a large yellow wing patch and yellow sides on the tail. It has a small white ear patch, a thin white whisker at the base of the bill and a white eye. This honeyeater is an active bird, and rarely sits still long enough to give an extended view. Sexes are similar in looks, but females are slightly smaller in size. Young birds are browner and have a grey eye. / Similar species / One very similar species is the White-cheeked Honeyeater, Phylidonyris nigra. This species has a single large white cheek patch and a dark eye. The two species frequently occur together. / Distribution / The New Holland Honeyeater’s range extends throughout southern Australia, from about Brisbane, Queensland, to just north of Perth, Western Australia. / Habitat / The New Holland Honeyeater is common in heath, forests, woodland and gardens, mainly where grevilleas and banksias are found. It is inquisitive and approaches humans. It also mixes with other types of honeyeaters. / Feeding / New Holland Honeyeaters are active feeders. They mostly eat the nectar of flowers, and busily dart from flower to flower in search of this high-energy food. Other food items include fruit, insects and spiders. Birds may feed alone, but normally gather in quite large groups. Most feeding takes place in lower areas of bushes and thickets. / Breeding / The New Holland Honeyeater’s cup-shaped nest is made of bark and grasses, bound together with spider web. It is lined with soft material and is placed in a bush or tree, anywhere from ground level up to 6 m. Both sexes feed the chicks. A pair of adults may raise two or three broods in a year. /

2007, Oil on Canvas, 16” x 20” This one just came out of the blue – screen that is. I was watching a nature program where they were showing something about ant eaters. Have you ever looked at those creatures? They look ridiculous! Anybody who claims God has no sense of humour must not have seen much of anything in the world. So this was the Sheep Incognito’s spin on an ant eater. Unfortunately, sheep are not quite bright enough to distinguish different spellings of same sounding expressions. Nonetheless, this was a hoot to paint. The purse looks precisely like one my grandmother used to carry to church with her. It was filled with a small lace hanky and lemon drops for kids bored out of their mind during the sermon.
