Oh, very nice! Lots of red-rock areas near there — but I’m so glad not to have met any scorpions! [shudder!]

We have some scorpions here in South Africa too. The only one I found a bird got to: only the claws and tail was left lying on the rock. Guess it should’ve found shelter too.

Yeech .. poor thing … but then guess that’s how it works. I’ve seen lots of the little wretches even in Italy. They have tiny scorpions here in Trentino, which I’d never have believed!
