Never did get to see much of Gamora littles one's as she decided in the end to bring them up elsewhere away from everybody and who can blame her. All 5 little one's were all reared up successfully. This time of year I only tend to see her when the sun is out and is warmer, roll on the spring so I can get to be in her company more.

This is what it looks like when Gamora is happy and smiling at me. Still doing really well and in great condition, always great company to be around with.
Well here she is again and Gamora is now about two years old now and still as friendly as ever. Her on and sometimes off boyfriend is still a hanging around but still so sign of any little one's yet but I have by fingers crossed that sometime later that will happen.

The Mute swan actually gets its name from the fact that its is less vocal than other swan species and is one of the heaviest flying birds. A male swan is known as a Cob while the female is known as a Pen and has a lifespan of around 12 years in the wild and can reach 30 years if in an protected environment. One of three species of wild swans to be found in the UK and is the national bird of Denmark. The Mute Swan is unique in making a vibrant throbbing sound with the wings when in flight. A large group of swans can be called, school, ballet and regatta. No swan has ever broken anyone's arm, this is a actually a complete myth.
The spiders main primary function is to quickly immobilize and subdue its prey and start the digesting process. The venom can contain many different substances which can include amino acids, proteolytic enzymes and neurotoxic polypeptides. This adult female has not quite finished her meal here. Once a spider has caught its prey and will want to eat its food the first step is to literally vomit a digestive fluid all over the food and then to chew the item with the jaws (chelicerae), then on to suck up the fluid back into the mouth together with the liquified meat.
