Bush eggs: one. Nest box eggs: none. Feed hopper: empty. Colour of the sky: bright, clear blue. Cold but beautiful.
Checked on Steve. She’s fine.
Had a lovely dust bath today – there’s just nothing like it for removing recalcitrant mites. It was the first really good dust bath of spring, with dappled light and warm sand – lovely. Brian came to join me at one stage. It was a bit of a squeeze as I had dug quite a deep hole in the sand but we had such fun. Giggled like teenagers, we did. I had thought Brian was a bit vapid, but motherhood seems to have changed her, deepened her. I think I might have finally found a new friend. Not that anyone could replace Bertha.
