Icecapdes!

I was so pleased to see the Gang Gangs return late this evening after the drama this morning.  Last night we had a very heavy frost and this morning there was quite a dusting of white powder.  I thought we could have even had a light fall of snow it was white.  At about 7.30am I looked down from upstairs and was amazed to see the Gang Gangs having a team talk.  They had discovered the water bowls were frozen and I watched them with mixed emotions.  On the one hand it was quite humorous to watch them skating across the bowls and then I felt sad.  They really wanted a drink and just couldn't make it happen.

Of course I went out and filled the bowls with water for them, and then I watched for a while to see if they would return.  I wondered if this would be enough to send them off to a warmer climate for the winter.  You can imagine my delight when an army of them returned again late this afternoon.  It was on dusk so the image is quite dark, but I don't mind, my little mates were back.  I have to say that I'm absolutely amazed that they are still coming to Wombat Hollow in the middle of winter.  CCN and I have talked about the regular visits of the Gang Gangs over the past couple of years and we both realise that when our little dogs Georgie and Nero were alive they probably kept the Gang Gangs away.  The price you pay I guess when you have pets in this type of environment.
