Three unidentified critters appeared near the pond late yesterday afternoon. What are they?
So far, no one I’ve asked knows.
Their presence is an indicator of what can happen when the natural world is encouraged to re-establish.
After moving onto this property, my mother believed the safety of her 15 dogs required she erect fences. Alas, fences impeded wild critters – African clawless otters, for example - from entering the pond to snack, as was their custom.
A consequence of erecting fences?
No more otters in this section of the stream and pond.
The presence of dogs also discouraged wild ducks and geese from feeding on pond vegetation. Lack of wild ducks and geese feeding in the pond encouraged overgrowth of invasive plants, such as pond lilies….
What one decides to alter in the natural world has consequences.
The good news? One can “undo” past mistakes. It takes time for the natural world to re-establish, and what re-establishes will come back altered, but it can be done.
Ultimately, erecting fences has consequences….
