Son of Home Thoughts

Spadgers

Another bunch of baby spadgers are being taught where to find the facilities. It's odd: the first few batches of spadglings are usually escorted by high-ranking males but this year they've all been with females. Unless, as is entirely possible, I've missed a whole load of them as they stayed hidden in the rambling rose. I forgot to fill up the bird bath while I was filling the feeders this morning, I was shamed into doing so by a pair of spadglings making a great fuss about bathing in thin air. They had all the actions right though when the time came for them to get into real water for a bath it took them a while to get used to the weight of the water.
