Cute Fluffy Baby Things!!!!

The river has started hatching! By which I mean the waterfowl that inhabit the river have started hatching out. This morning I saw my first clutch of goslings (Canada geese), there were five, possibly six. Still rather young.

Then further down I saw my first clutch of cygnets! Not the same nest as the one I took photos off the other day, she's still sitting (I saw her adjusting her eggs this morning). This one is closer to town, and she has five beautiful little grey fluff balls following her around. Somebody was feeding them bread, they were so cute!

I will take my camera tomorrow, and bring pictures to show you all :-)

Fidget the killer

Well, not killer today, but still..

On Sunday he covered the living room in blood with the first chick.

Yesterday he did it again, only it was less dead and bleeding everywhere.

Tonight, it was a perfectly alive and unharmed one.





we put it back out in the garden, but the cat has been going mad trying to get back outside, he's driven us up the wall so we've had to let him back out.

hopefully he wont find it.

I need to buy him some new cat food, for I think he's hungry on account of refusing to eat the food he has, so is going out looking for grub.

Don't think its our local nest, actually.

Its either a starling or a blackbird we think, probably a blackbird
