Bird's Nest

Every trip to feed the chickens turns into a nature walk. Last weekend, I found a bird's nest below the old pine tree. It was beautifully made from twigs and flax and lichen. And it was full of woodlice.



When I picked it up, I was amazed to find that the floor of the nest was smooth like plywood.



And under the gum tree just down the hill, I found a bright blue egg shell. This is the colour that J wants for our kitchen cabinets. We'll see.
