Mysty and Charles, the White Pigeons and Eggs

10/7/2011

Lois watching Mysty eating the leaves
Mystique the young female roe deer loves to sit under a big thorn hedge in Lois' field. She keeps Lois company and we saw her nibbling the tender leaves the other morning. We think that she is a year old - born last spring. Her mother and father are never far away, but we haven't see their new babies this year. Mysty had a brother called Charles, but sadly he was hit by a car two weeks ago and died. They lived totally independent lives, contentedly going about their day - but never too far from the wood where they were born. Mum pulled Charles away from the road into a sheltered leafy patch. Poor Charles. We will miss him. Sometimes all you could see in the oilseed rape was his two little horns as he mooched happily about.

High wire acrobats
The white pigeons are still in the barn - we hear them swish around and they were trying out their highwire balancing act on the Very Important Wires above the field yesterday. We think there are only three now, but sometimes there are five - I think they are friends from a nearby barn over for afternoon tea.

And Truffle and Mrs White reluctantly came out of their stable this morning for a drink and something to eat - yummy chocolate swiss roll - one of Harry's favourites - and we peeped in their 'nest' - oh dear! Loads of shiny, well sat-on eggs, and not one of them fertile. Who is going to tell them?!
Not me!! Gordon x

    About Us

    Hello! My name is Gordon and I am a Gold Sebright and my best friend is Sylvia. She is a Silver Sebright. We live with our foster parents on a small farm in the country.  We thought that we would put our take on life and what we get up to through the year into a diary for you. All the characters are real and the events are a true record,  interpreted with a modicum of poetic licence. We hope you enjoy it. Love Gordon and Sylvia
