Snakes – The slitherers – Our Urban Wild
https://oururbanwilderness.wordpress.com/2014/10/24/snakes-the-slitherers
A backyard of fur, fangs and feathers. October 24, 2014. February 5, 2015. The caracal is the recognised King of our urban wilderness by virtue of his variety of extraordinary skills, cunning and beauty. The real ruler, however, is the Queen, as in so many monarchies. Our queen has absolutely no kinship with the caracal and they had half a chance they would kill each other, again as in so many monarchies. She is very long and slender. The sinuous curves of our Queen Cape Cobra. Our territory is hers too ...
Guineafowl – The racketeers – Our Urban Wild
https://oururbanwilderness.wordpress.com/2014/08/29/guineafowl-the-racketeers
A backyard of fur, fangs and feathers. Guineafowl – The racketeers. August 29, 2014. August 29, 2014. And it is not easy to spot. Among ordinary chickens it stands out like a camel among horses. But Africa is its true home. The helmeted is one of about seven kinds of guineafowl and of only two kinds in Southern Africa and particular to our neighbourhood. Gathering on the neighbour’s lawn. Note the different sized casques, denoting the different sex. Settling down for an afternoon nap. 8211; as they gathe...
Dassies 7 – Bum to Bum – Our Urban Wild
https://oururbanwilderness.wordpress.com/2014/08/22/dassies-7-bum-to-bum
A backyard of fur, fangs and feathers. Dassies 7 Bum to Bum. August 22, 2014. Watch the eyes of an apartment dweller when a genet pair or a porcupine family arrive on the lamplit stoep, sample the offerings and go their way without a sidelong glance at us. All of this gives unequalled opportunity to study much of the behaviour and great detail of the appearance of these creatures that otherwise would be unattainable. Tucking into carrot tops. Cabbage leaves are munched in seconds. After scattering the of...
Otters 4 – Mating and eating – Our Urban Wild
https://oururbanwilderness.wordpress.com/2014/10/17/otters-5-mating-and-eating
A backyard of fur, fangs and feathers. Otters 4 Mating and eating. October 17, 2014. February 5, 2015. In mid-winter we saw a pair courting. One walked around an area of kikuyu grass several metres long close to the high water mark and sprayed into the slope exactly as a cat does: rear end hoisted high, tail erect and quivering. Or so it seemed because we could not see the actual spray from about 20 metres. A mating pair on the left. The otter held the prey in the pool, pulled off strips of meat with its...
Otters 1 – Wotta Lotta Otters – Our Urban Wild
https://oururbanwilderness.wordpress.com/2014/09/26/otters-1-wotta-lotta-otters
A backyard of fur, fangs and feathers. Otters 1 – Wotta Lotta Otters. September 26, 2014. February 5, 2015. The face peering at her was hairy and disapproving. Two small, baleful eyes set wide in a large furry head round as a ball. Ridiculous button ears. A broad black nose above stiff whiskers. The mouth curled down at the corners left no doubt she was intruding. And the face was sodden with sea water, compounding the impression of irritation. 8230; and who are you? She chose caution and retreated as he...

“THE HIDDEN THIRD” | MY WORDS
https://wilfnussey.wordpress.com/2013/04/08/the-hidden-third
Home – My Word. Fact and fiction – Wilf Nussey. 8220;THE HIDDEN THIRD”. April 8, 2013. Four volatile years after Nelson Mandela was freed, South Africans of all races voted in the first democratic general election since their country was created 94 years earlier. There had been much violence in those years and the world watched in lip-smacking anticipation of a flood of blood when the majority black population took revenge for the oppression and brutality of 48 years of apartheid. For centuries before th...
Kill poaching | MY WORDS
https://wilfnussey.wordpress.com/2014/02/01/kill-poaching
Home – My Word. Fact and fiction – Wilf Nussey. February 1, 2014. It beggars belief that a government which has wasted billions on pointless weaponry, a grossly inflated bureaucracy, an obscene volume of graft, and excessive perks for its politicians, is unable to stop a handful of poachers from wiping out its small population of rhinos. The government can take several actions immediately which will not instantly stop but will dramatically reduce the level of poaching. Anti-poaching forces in the Kruger ...
THE FUTURE SA: where are we going? | MY WORDS

Home – My Word. Fact and fiction – Wilf Nussey. THE FUTURE SA: where are we going? September 25, 2016. The most overworked word in South Africa is democracy . We do not have a full democracy. We never have had. It was born a cripple in 1994, half strangled by the umbilical cord proportional representation . The Public Protector is a post our ANC constitutional designers must deeply regret creating just as they must regret appointing Thuli Madonsela to the job because it is her personal integrity, energy ...

About | The Forest Spirit
https://theforestspirit.wordpress.com/about
Do female flying squirrels have larger wing membranes than males? I can’t say for sure what it was that got me interested in nature. Sometimes I like to think that I was born with the blood of a wild animal coursing through me; I have always felt more at home by the sea or under a tree than in the company of a big crowd of people. In websites/newspapers like The Deccan Herald Student Edition, The Alternative and JLR Explore, to do just that. That was a long About Me. July 21, 2014 at 6:43 pm. You are com...

Food and travel around the world. Adventures in the Mercantour National Park South France. October 25, 2014. We decided spend one longer weekend in the mountains so we took a picnic basket and set off for the mountains to meet the WOLVES! We were lucky because the weather was still so nice and the flora was still rich and varied. And in the end if you are still not tired? I could recommend another trip from ALLOS to the ROCHE GRANDE (2.409m), totally denuded of vegetation and you can overlooks the vi...

One Little Word 2013. January 1, 2013. My One Little Word for 2013 is Open. Every work of art needs a spine an underlying theme, a motive for coming into existence.”. It is my spine for this upcoming year. Looking forward to the journey. I am taking part in Ali Edward’s One Little Word Class. December 31, 2012. Well, 2012 has been a bit busy – to say the least. I think I have learned that I make my life more complicated than it needs to be. We have a lot going on. I seek to simplify. Fifty Shades of Gray.
