Day 148.

Bush eggs: one. Nest box eggs: none. Feed hopper: full.

We now have complete and free access to the pond area (and the stupid ducks). This means that we should never be short of water again, which happens occasionally and is always a cause for great alarm (even more than an empty feed hopper). I had always liked the look of the pond area, lush and green but it is now a wasteland of sand and pine cones. VERY UGLY. The ducks are a bit traumatised and a fetching shade of ‘muddy pond water’ rather than their usual blinding white due to the orange monster stirring up the pond water with its diggings. The Boys have been daring each other to go across the bridge to the island in the middle of the pond.
