Hummingbirds rock!

You see guys, hummingbirds aren't as boring as you may think. They are really interesting birds!

Well, hummingbirds are very small and colourful birds of the Trochiliede family. They have long thin beaks to suck nectar from flowers. They are the smallest birds on earth! Also, they have no sense of smell...

The most interesting thing is that hummingbirds cannot walk! But they can fly anyway they want to - forwards, left, right, backwards and hover in the air! No other birds can do such tricks!

They beat their wings about 80 times a second during normal flight and 200 during a courtship dive.

Their heartbeat can reach up to 1,260 beats per minute.

There is so much information about hummingbirds! I think I'll have to write another post about hummingbirds. See u for now!

Time to pick mushrooms!

Hey guys, get ready to pick some mushrooms!

There are really lots of types of mushrooms all over the world! I can even prove it! It was one sunny day, in Australia ...:

And me and my friend were sitting on a bench under a tree, when I looked at the ground and saw a mushroom. I was surprised, because the mushroom was one of the protected species. You could hardly ever see it in Poland! When I came home I told my mum and she said: 'You can't find it in Poland because people pick mushrooms a lot there, otherwise in Australia no one picks them at all!'

I know most of the mushroom names and there are some rare ones like I said in the previous paragraph. The one I saw in Australia was gwiazdosz fredzlowaty (I only learnt it in Polish and you pronounce it like this: khviasdosh frentzlovatyh). Of course, it is not the one on the picture - google it on your own if you are interested! 

That's enough for today! Bye!

Remembrance Day

Remembrance Day is a very important day for Australians and New Zealanders (Kiwis) and all free people in the world.

Every year Australians observe 1 minute of silence at 11am on 11th November in memory to those who died or suffered in the first world war.

The war ended on 11 November 1918, hence the commemoration on that day. People go to memorials to place poppies beside the names of people who were killed at war.

Let us remember those, who gave their lives for the freedom of our countries.

Lest we forget.

The weather...

It's amazing how the weather changes or how it is different in parts of the world.

I have been to many countries and I have seen and felt how the weather changes.

Sometimes I would like to have different weather in countries that it doesn't belong. It's like wanting to have 20 degrees in Antarctica!

Does someone know WHY the weather changes? Why does the temperature rise and fall? Why doesn't it stay the same? Sometimes we have so much questions in our head that they cannot be answered! I suspect that the sun is the answer. Could somebody confirm?

Wishing u very good weather! Bye!
