A Sad Story


A little while ago, at the end of winter, one of our hens went missing. I'd stolen the eggs that she'd been trying to hatch and so I suspected that she'd disappeared into the bush to lay another clutch. Almost exactly three weeks later, my suspicions proved correct as she emerged with four little chicks.

Sadly there was only time to snap a few quick shots as the next night there was a late frost and we didn't see the chicks again. Better luck next time!
