I must admit to having a real soft spot for bactrians as they seem to be slightly more even tempered and lovely to ride. Luckily the monkeys here are too quick for the dogs and just run away to stymie them. I would not like to treat a monkey bite.Ersatz Expathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03715056719284523304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6978675934252049570.post-57427759585680894262015-11-30T21:23:30.475+06:002015-11-30T21:23:30.475+06:00Thanks - I have never really got a taste for bird&...Thanks - I have never really got a taste for bird's nest soup. There are entire barns in the countryside built to entice the swifts in as 'artificial caves' for easy harvesting. The stuff from the real caves carries a premium though.Ersatz Expathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03715056719284523304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6978675934252049570.post-11895015833218448542015-11-30T21:22:35.448+06:002015-11-30T21:22:35.448+06:00Thanks DebbieThanks DebbieErsatz Expathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03715056719284523304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6978675934252049570.post-46592843987827661742015-11-30T21:05:21.358+06:002015-11-30T21:05:21.358+06:00what a fantastic place to live and to be able to l...what a fantastic place to live and to be able to let the dog off leash in parts is great, on our walks we often see camels and in south Africa we encountered a fair few monkeys that Bob would love to go and chase, making our 30 min walk turn into a couple of hours while we waited for him to come backchickenrubyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05731936852696584642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6978675934252049570.post-87199572123466056372015-11-30T02:54:49.348+06:002015-11-30T02:54:49.348+06:00What an amazing variety of animals you get to see....What an amazing variety of animals you get to see.

We are back in the UK for Christmas soon and their wildlife now seems very exotic to us. We are looking forward to seeing Badgers, Deer and Foxes.Ersatz Expathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03715056719284523304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6978675934252049570.post-84452061278667061172015-11-26T06:59:44.011+06:002015-11-26T06:59:44.011+06:00It really does sound like the stuff of nightmares ...It really does sound like the stuff of nightmares and probably completely uninsured as well.

It's nice that the fish are protected, but a shame you can't let the dogs off in the forest (understandably).<br /><br />When we lived in South Africa we stayed on the River Kromme and the wildlife there was what I call proper wild too. Snakes, monkeys, spiders (big ones). dassies and the birds were stunning (I tried not to think about the wildlife in the river as it wasn't far from the sea.<br /><br />xxDebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14933494199087059715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6978675934252049570.post-50206870268146472422015-11-25T12:39:16.490+06:002015-11-25T12:39:16.490+06:00Oh my goodness, I can't imagine what it must b...Oh my goodness, I can't imagine what it must be like to have monkey's come in and destroy your house while you're away. How awful. You have such a rich array of animals to observe, which must be loads of fun. I want to know more about your bright birds too.
