Who knew? Every year we learn something else.

We brought Perky into the barn yesterday afternoon

She had a protrusion from her rear end which looked like she might be about to give birth (too early by our calculations). Nothing happened and the protrusion disappeared. This happened a few times. Jeremy consulted Dr Google. She has a prolapse but this shouldn’t stop her giving birth when her time comes. Here’s hoping.

They migrate south in the winter but breeds in the northern climes (rarely breeding in UK). They flock together and I find it difficult to get close to them with an iPhone! Click below for birds on the field
