Spring at Mount Tutu Eco-Sanctuary

The world may be in the doldrums, but here at Mount Tutu Eco-Sanctuary, life is abuzz with new life, spring growth, flowers in abundunce, and the Sanctuary is full of birdsong.

Only days ago, to my delight, I heard the first "Shining Cuckoo" call of the season. These amazing birds fly thousands of miles north to the Solomon Islands for winter, and every spring return home, to the same garden each year!

From our small flock of the unique Mount Tutu Sheep, 6 lambs have been born this season. Have a look at http://www.youtube.com/MountTutuEco for an amazing video I took of the Ewe giving birth!
