Spring has Sprung!!

 A pair of Oriental turtle doves (Kijibatoキジバト) comes to our garden every now and then to forage and/or bathe 😍

Japanese grass lizards (Kanahebiカナヘビ) have woken up from hibernation and are often making the most of the sunshine to warm up.

I noticed this shell far too late! missed the dragonfly... 😭

a baby Praying mantis - it barely can cling onto the leaves but hopefully will survive and grow into a majestic adult mantis one day.
