| 3-4 months after the installation of the ants, they are still intact even though members of KWT stand on their nest |
Below is a slide show showing the work progressing over the course of the day
This one of a number of things happening in the woods at the moment, a busy week.
What was interesting, was when my dog walked past these ants for the first time. He stopped, went past them very slowly as far as possible along the opposite edge of the path. When he had got past them, very sheepishly he started sniffing and advancing very tentertivly towards them, he got closer, all very low down. The when he started to realise they were not going to move or threaten him in any way, he gave out a low key woofy bark, as if he was saying 'that's it you stay there or I'll bark properly at you'.
Now he just goes straight past as if they wern't even there.
