Spring is here, but winter is refusing to be done with - we had snow on the mountain this morning and the garden has been hammered by wild winds and heavy rain all day... We fear for Snowpea's tiny chicks - there are huge deep puddles everywhere and it is COLD. She had them all snuggled in the straw in one of our rarely-used nesting boxes for much of the worst weather, but this evening she was out and about and we could only count 6 little ones...
She has hatched her clutch so early in the year - I really, really hope they are all safely underneath her tonight and we find them well in the morning.
