Day 221 - Emu trick, if you flick your legs in the air the emu thinks you’ve fallen over on your back and can’t get back up. It will most likely come to help you.
It’s then a game of chicken on how long you can wait which I lost when they got a bit close.
🎄Merry Christmas everyone🎄

Day 3 - The great carpenter bee is one of the largest bee species in the world, with females reaching up to 3.5 cm in length.
They are known as "carpenter" bees because they tunnel into wood to create their nests, rather than using existing holes.
Great carpenter bees are excellent pollinators, particularly of plants with large, deep flowers that other insects may have difficulty accessing.
Male great carpenter bees are territorial and will defend their territory from other males, often engaging in dramatic aerial battles.
Unlike honeybees, which have a hierarchical social structure, great carpenter bees are solitary creatures that do not live in hives.
Great carpenter bees are found in many parts of the world, from Africa to Asia to Australia.
Despite their large size and sometimes intimidating appearance, great carpenter bees are not aggressive and will only sting if provoked or threatened.
Some species of great carpenter bees have a metallic sheen to their bodies, making them especially striking and beautiful to observe.
Female great carpenter bees have a specialized structure on their legs called a "pollen brush" which they use to collect pollen to bring back to their nests.
Great carpenter bees play an important role in their ecosystems by pollinating a wide variety of plants, and their tunneling behavior can also help aerate soil and improve drainage.
