We have a pool from which our bees can drink, filled with rocks for them to land on so they don’t drown. This is a slow-motion recording of bees drinking and flying above the pool.

A week of our pond
A time-lapse video of a week of our pond, including our duck swimming around, me cleaning out the duck house in preparation for new ducklings, and a heron sighting.
Thanks to Camect for generating this summary video.
A week inside the cat house
I included a GIF of this at the end of the Caturday post, but here’s a video edition of it. Thanks to Camect for generating the summary.
Chicken song
Sound on! A chicken telling me all about the egg she just laid.
Chatty ducks
The ducks met me by the chicken coop, and were being particularly quacky.
Chickens chasing Camilla to get some apple peel
I gave the chickens some apple peel (and kale) as a treat. Camilla managed to grab a big chunk, and was chased around the veggie garden and chicken runs by the other chickens, who wanted to snag a piece.
Ducks from inside the pond
I waded into the pond to clean and start the pump. While I was there, I captured this video of the ducks swimming around me. Two minutes of cuteness; listen to their quacking!
Ducks following me down the path to the duck house, and getting treats
A video of our ducks following me on the path to the duck house, quacking at me for treats, then silence as they gobble them up.
Ducks by the chicken run
A couple times this week, the ducks have left the pond to come see me on my morning rounds.
Slow-mo hummingbirds
A slow-mo video of eight hummingbirds at the feeders, plus one hummer using its beak and feet to dislodge two others.
