Day 266.

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

The new girls seem to be getting the hang of things. I noticed Sylvie having a lovely dust bath at the top of the bank; she was so vigorous that by the time she’d finished she had carved a channel to the bottom of the bank – impressive.

Less impressive was Ella’s trip to the pond for a drink – where she fell in! That takes a certain skill, I must admit.
