Bunty Bunny’s Blog, Everything new is an Adventure

This was exciting, I went to Kingsbury Water Park in the evening to join a bat hopped, (sorry there are no photos it was dark). First of all we had tea, lots of people had jacket potatoes, but I didn’t think I would like a potato with a coat on so I had a carrot. Then we went and sat in a room and a very nice man showed us some pictures of bat’s and told us some very interesting facts about them. Then it was time to go and look for them, we all hopped out into the trees and I could hear little chirpy sounds on the bat detector. This is a little machine that picks up the noises that the bats make, because they speak at a very high pitch that no one can hear. The bat detector started to make a lot of noise and the man say look up and there were two little Pipistrelle’s they are the smallest bat’s that we have here in the UK. We then hopped down by the lake, and all the time the Pipistrells’s were flying around above us looking for their tea. We stood looking at the lake and before long we saw two Daubentons flying just above the water, they are the only bats that do this and they catch the bugs with their big feet. Their favourite food is yellow bellied moths, but they can’t eat the wings so they pull them off and drop them on the floor. They always go to the same place to eat, so if you find a pile of wings on the floor, just above you are is where the bats sit to eat his tea. I would have liked to talk to the bat’s but they were very busy looking for their tea and the man said I wouldn’t be able to hear them anyway, but I was just happy to see them, they are very sweet. I like bats. I wish some would come and live with us in our house, mommy wouldn’t mind she said so.

On Sunday I went for a hop around Kingsbury Water Park, I didn’t know how big it was so I will need to go back again so that I can hop around the rest of it. It is very pretty and there are lots of pools and trees. I made some really nice friends.

I met a little baby moorhen called Tiny, he had lost his mommy, I was sure she hadn’t gone far, so I sat on the bank and talked to him. We chatted about what he liked best about his pond and he told me he liked playing hide and seek in the trees with his brothers and sisters. It wasn’t to long before his mommy came back, she thanked me for staying with Tiny and keeping him company. Then I carried on with my hop

After hopping for a little while I came to a big field full of wild flowers and butterflies. Aren’t butterflies funny? It made me laugh the way they never kept still and they talk just as fast as they move around, but the only thing they seem to want to talk about is how pretty they are, so I didn’t stay long.

A bit further on I met Benjamin, he’s a rabbit like me, except he was brown. He was nibbling at the grass and asked me if I cared to join him. So I did, then I shared my carrot with him. We chatted about where he live and he took me to see his burrow, it was quite dark, I told him about where I live and he thought it sound funny. We sat in the sun for a while and he told me about all his brothers and sisters, (he has quite a lot). Then it was time for me to hop some more.

I hopped to a pond and met a Grebe who told me he was good at fishing and just to prove it he dived into the pond and came back up with a fish, I was very impressed, I don’t think I could do.

A little further on I came to another pool where there was a lovely baby swan. I was just about to say hello when his daddy came over and hissed at me to leave his little boy at home! I only wanted to say hello, I think that swan was very rude. I feel sorry for the baby swan, he won’t have many friends if his daddy is always so rude.

There is a miniature railway there too, It wasn’t running when I was there so it was safe for me to sit on the track, but you must never ever walk on the tracks of the really big trains, it’s very dangerous, and you should really play on little either, I was a very naughty Bunty. I will not do it again. I was very tried by now, so I went home.

On Sunday I went for a hop around Sutton Park. Sutton Park is very big and it has lots of ponds with ducks, and there are ponies and birds and rabbits it’s such a lovely place. I hopped all around the pools and saw some cows enjoying the warm sunshine. I met a dog who had been playing in one of the pools and he was very muddy, he told me that his daddy didn’t mind and gave him a lovely bath when he got home.

There are lots of old bits of walls and things in the park to find and look at and there are information boards every now and then to read. I like information boards because you get to learn something new. I found a little stream and the water made lovely patterns as it ran over the top of the stones. There were some very big hills to hop up and down and some of the paths had big holes in them made by the rain washing the dirt away. After I had been hopping for 3 hours I was getting hot so I made my way home for an iced carrot juice and a sit in the shade.

I have been camping again

Friday started off really sunny and as I hopped to the shower block I watched all the baby bunnies playing and hopping around under the other vans, they asked me to stop and play but I told them I had a very busy day. I set off hopping a route I knew to the Cannock Chase VC, I had to hop up the big steep Kit bag hill; it’s a long way up to the top, but I made it, there was a lady walking up too and she laughed and said it’s easer on the way back down, (I didn’t like to tell her I was walking a different way back), so I just smiled and said ‘Yes it will be’. When I got to the VC I popped into the loo to find Swifts nesting, (picture on my photos, you can just see her head popping out), she told me that someone had smashed the toilet window so they had moved in because it was a nice quiet place to stay. I then hopped over to the hide to look for birds, and there weren’t any! There were however loads of bunnies and squirrels. I then had a hop by the ponds and on to the forest VC. It had started to rain, and I don’t like getting wet so I hopped back to the caravan.

Saturday I set off for my hop and took a path I had not hopped before, which after a while brought me to a path I recognised so I hopped to the forest centre and decided a hop around the health heart walk would be nice, I wish I hadn’t, a lot of the sculptures were gone and the information boards had been removed and what was left had been left looked unloved I felt very sad. So I had a play on the park to cheer myself up, I went on a very big slide, the first time I went down it scared me, but I just had to have another go, slides are fun. Then I played ball with a dog called Ben. I had sat down for a drink and he came and sat by me. He asked me if I want to play ball, I wasn’t in a hurry so I said yes. We had a lovely time, me throwing the ball and Ben running after it and bring it back.

Sunday I hopped paths I had not hopped before and watched some men on mountain bikes riding down big hills and falling off! I don’t think I would like to do it. I also saw a very proud family of geese, the daddy goose brought his babies for me to see, and I told him they were quite the most beautiful babies I had seen. He seemed very pleased with that.

I had a really nice weekend and can’t wait for my next adventure. I have been looking at some old videos and have found one of mommy, daddy and big brother ballooning, that looked like fun.

And don’t for get to leave me your words please

Wednesday went I woke up the sky was grey and it was raining. So I went for a trip the opposite way round the coast to the way I had been hopping. I past a nice looking beach which was very crowed so I went on to Angle, which is a very pretty little bay with a café and toilet and that’s all. I went in the café as it had turned very cold and after chatting with the nice lady I found out that the last beach was crowed because they are filming, (that means making), the new Harry Potter film there, and when that’s done they are filming Robin Hood. (I must watch a Harry Potter to see if I would like to be in a film).

On the evening I hopped into Tenby and went on an hour ½ long ghost walk. I didn’t get scared because the lady was very funny, I learnt about fairy rings, and how to take a curse off if ever a witch put one on me, and about ghosts that live in houses and do all sorts of naughty things, the lady made me laugh a lot.

Thursday the weather was still drizzly so I hopped along to Carew Castle and Tidal Mill. There were lots of steps to climb up and down and rooms to look in. Bats live in one of the towers but I couldn’t go and see them because they are very shy and sleep in the daytime. I liked the Mill too, because I could touch the machinery.

Then I went to the beach and built my own castle in the sand and watched the naughty seagulls fighting over some bread. They are so noisy.

I have had lots of adventures this week and seen lots of new things. Now I am very tried, but a very happy Bunty. Oh and I nearly forgot to tell you about the two naughty bunnies I met, Bert and Bonnie. The out side pool was closed, it said so on a big notice but they keep going in there to play. Very naughty as there was a big grass bit they could have played on.

Monday I hopped to Pendine Sands. This is where the speed trials were held, people would ride bikes and drive cars very very fast and some people died doing it, sometimes I think people are so silly!. I couldn’t hop all the way up the beach as the army people had their flags out and when the red flags are out you can’t go on that part of the beach because the red flags mean they are practicing with their guns. It’s a bit scary.
There is a little museum there called the museum of speed, I like museums so I went in to have a look, they had old bikes and lots of things to read. After a little rest on the beach I went to see Wiseman’s Bridge, (but I couldn’t see a bridge) and then back to Manorbier, I sat on the beach and had my picnic and looked in some rock pools, they are called that because they are little pools in the rocks. Sometimes you can see crabs in them, all I saw was some very pretty seaweed and snails. There was a Castle over the road; I have never been in a castle so I thought a look around the Castle would be nice. Inside the castle was life size wax figures the first lot made me jump, I thought they were real. I asked one of them the way and thought him very rude when he didn’t answer me. Then I saw the writing underneath him and felt very silly. I did enjoy climbing up onto the battlement up all those winding steps, when I got to the top I looked over the side and I was very high up and I could see right out across the sea.

I was tried now so I went back to the caravan for a very long nap.

Sunday the weather was nice and sunny I decided on the Manorbier to Tenby hop. (Around 8 mile). I got the bus to Manorbier Castle and hopped down to the beach where my big hop began. The route went from Manorbier to Presipe to Skrinkle to Lydstep beach and on to South beach Tenby. (I didn’t get to explore any of the caves as the tide was in almost all the while I was hopping, never mind). I found some lovely flowers growing on the cliff side, they must be ever so strong to live there, it’s very windy and sometimes the sea jumps up to wet them. . I had to hop up some very steep hills and down the other side, some of the paths were falling into the sea and there were great big drops into the sea down the side of the cliffs. I met a lady who asked me how far I had hopped and where I was heading, I told her and she said I would need a lot of energy to hop up the Lydstep steps. When I came to the Lydstep steps, I knew what she meant there were 111 of them and they were very big!

I got very tired towards the end of my big hop, I have never hopped this far before, and I was worried I wouldn’t get back in time for my carrots, but soon I could see the beach, so I knew I was almost home. My little paws were so sore and I was very hot, so When I got back to the caravan I had my carrots and went to bed!

I have been on holiday to Tenby, it had a thing called a beach and sea. I was very excited as I had never seen the beach or sea before and wasn’t sure what it was. It took a very long time to get to Tenby but I was very excited so couldn’t go to sleep. When I got there the first thing I did was hop as fast as I could to see what the sea looked like. Oh my! I have never seen anything so big, all that water, and it wasn’t standing still like the water in my bath. It was coming in and out over the sand, that’s what a beach is you know, lots and lots of sand. But the sea, it was just so big and it made a lovely sloshing sound as it rolled in and out and it smelt nice. I hopped up and down the beach and saw jellyfish, (they don’t look like fish), crabs and star fish, all just lying there on the beach. It was so much fun. By now I was very tried, so I went back to the caravan and went to bed and dreamt of sea and fishes and my next adventure which was the very next day.
