The “big quails” are barely larger than the youngsters and slightly bemused by the new residents. They also have a nighttime cage as the evenings draw in and the temperature drops. The birds can huddle together for warmth and away from the grasp of rats, foxes or stoats.

The sunflower below has self seeded at the back of the house. We give the wild birds sunflower seeds in bird feeders and this plant has grown from one of those seeds.
