Bonadea caught a bird today! No parents could be prouder of the first steps of their toddler than we are of our wee fur-head — why, we’d more or less expected her to turn tail and run when confronted with a live bird! She’s getting an extra treat tonight, not because we dislike birds (it was a yellowhammer, so rather a beautiful bird, too) but surely she deserves it, particularly as she wasn’t allowed to eat it. Let’s see if Cassandra manages to catch something too, one of these days. . .
