When wildlife is far more interesting than homo sapiens

Sometimes going for a walk is more inspiring than reading the news. The animal kingdom is full of wonder and I'm grateful to be filled with awe when for example, I come across this little fella in his armoury crossing the road as if he has all the time in the world:

Or this little guy who has taken up residence with his mates/family on my terrace. Watching him catch flies is sort of miraculous:

Much more interesting than politics, celebrities, #LeftWingLunatics, don't you think?

Both of these creatures carries on about their business without fanfare or calling the paparazzi. They just are. A lesson to us all perhaps?
