I was dead chuffed as these are the butterflies I saw all over beachy Head. Looking at the time they were bright blue and I was intrigued so got some photos as best I could when they landed (I'll hoy one up when I get home). Thought I'd look up the species but didn't need to as I got that news story straight away, pleased I saw some very rare things. Beachy Head was fucking ace, I love it so much, so very peaceful.
Went and fed some animals at Christmas Tree farm again yesterday. Was quite jealous of a man who had bought a massive bag of his own carrots, will have to do that next time instead of buying the little buckets. Got to feed the geese this time as they were out roaming about. I fucking love geese, so grumpy and nasty, I just find them topper. They pecked out my hands and I got a few nips of the skin but I didn't mind. Reminded me of Lightwater Valley when I was young, buying some seed and feeding the ducks down by the fake lake, some wild geese got wind of it and chased me down, pecking at any exposed flesh. they do make me chuckle though. The llamas had had a shave since the last time I saw them, obviously need to be cooled down a bit, they'd left there comedy fringes on though. The cows were my personal favourite, as you walk up they just open their mouths and stick their tongues out or they give you the other option, they use their big tongue to lick sideways along the top of the fence post. That was the demo for the two ways you can feed them. I liked popping the carrot on their tongue and then leaving some seed on the top of the post, watching their tongue go along and scoop it up, without dropping virtually any of it. Fed the rheas this time as well, they are sort of like emu type things. Haven't been sure in the past if you were meant to feed them as it has a warning saying when you approach make sure you aren't wearing glasses, hats or scrunchies, as they will grab them. But he popped his long neck through the fence and pecked out of my hand, they were lovely. I shall add my photos of this exciting event tonight too.
I've got a knacker slightly wrong in my boxer shorts this morning, I now have the endless dull pain.
I'm quite tired.
