Swift Half Update - 14th October 2010

• Two nights ago now (12th) Anna and I watched two foxes in the garden on the "infra red fox cam" at 21:30. Looking for hens eggs I eggspect.
• Talking of hens, both Couven and Cutlery have begun to moult. Feathers all over the garden - quite a sight. This is quite normal and about the right time too - they're almost two years old now and chucks don't normally moult properly for the first time until they're approaching 2yo.
• I've only seen a grey wagtail on our pond once before today- but this afternoon one came bouncing in, which I'm really chuffed about. I do love my wagtails!
