The other convalescent didn’t make it. RIP Jules. The only consolation is that she had a year or so she wouldn’t have done; she and her sisters would have been culled had we not taken them.

So…poultry. We visited the Peebles Poultry Show at the weekend and Mr Bee took some pics. The subjects were, obviously, behind bars, but here are some examples:
Phew. This has taken all of my ‘techie’ energy. I hope that I haven’t crashed The Reporter.

Somewhere, a duck is watching you.
Intently. Implacably.
Unblinking.
Not that I want to alarm you at all…
Love the photies

Hardly the same, I appreciate, but yesterday we had 2, rather shy, woodpeckers in the garden & using the bird feeders.
I didn’t manage to get a photo, unfortunately, but such a welcome splash of colour.

It was Robin Season in the garden yesterday, including one Serious Philosophical Discussion (lots of wings ‘n’ twittering) and one of 'em hoppiting through the gazebo.

So, finally I got to meet the new arrivals; they’ve (quite sensibly) spent the last week hiding from Gareth and Hannah.

How wonderful they are! I wish them good luck in their progress to adulthood and, erm, femininity…
