Bush eggs: none. Nest box eggs: one – caused by fright. Feed hopper: full.
The wicked cat that took Steve’s chick had a go at ME today. It just came out of nowhere like a big tabby nightmare. It leapt on my back and tried to bite my head off. Luckily, in the heat of the moment I remembered a trick told to me by The Ancient One, Blacky, and ran under a low branch to swat the cat off! (She used it to great effect with amorous roosters). It was terribly effective. The whole episode gave me a huge fright and made my legs go all wobbly. I had to go and sit down in the dark, which explains the egg.
