The most dire day on the weather front. It began dry - ish - but by mid afternoon we had streams on top of streams and the mud on top of mud. We are consoling ourselves with the thought that it is the end of the winter, not the start….. But of huge importance is that warm comfortable feeling of knowing that everything had a warm, dry building to retreat to – even if, as in the case of the rhea, they chose to ignore it. These faces are the faces of the sensible ones who were enjoying their straw and hay filled shelters and the peace and quiet and ‘dry’ they bring!!!
