September Hoverflies

A few Hoverflies from September.

Hoverfly in Scotland

They do look like bees and wasps, but the eyes are different and their wings sit wider too. They don't sting either and they are very good pollinators.

Saw this Orange Sky a few weeks ago. Thought it was very Hallowe'en like! It reminded me of a song from 1967 by a group called Love and the song was Orange Skies!

Stitch is a wonderful cat and I love him so much. He is very loving and enjoys cuddles and tummy rubs. He doesn't meow though and isn't chatty. I think I've heard him meow once in this last 6 months! But he does purr and it's a nice when he is purring. Happy 2 years Stitch.

Vets Open Day 2025

In September we went to the Vets Open Day. I have been with the same Vet for 15 years now. Here are previous years: 2024 and 2022. I went in 2023 as well but wasn't posting too much back then!

Bearded Dragon in Scotland

Owl in Scotland

I didn't take a lot of photos this year round! 4 of the snake. My daughter is obsessed with snakes. The first photo, she is touching it, the second photo me and her are holding it and the third me holding its head and the last one the handler with a close up of the snake's head. I remember it was a male snake that was fairly old, I am sure he was called Louis. Next up is a Bearded Dragon and lastly me hold an Owl.

I always enjoy the Open Days. They are lots of fun and do a lot of fundraising for the local charities. They also give tours of their Practice and the animal handling sessions. Along with lots of fun & games for the kids, competitions for the dogs, craft & baking stalls, music and free drinks for all!
