The weather was beautiful for our final Easter Activity day. The chicks may have changed and are not the fluff balls they were, but they were friendly and curious and did not mind being handled. However, the stars of the day were the first gosling and the duckling. They were both very content to sit in the laps of the children and be stroked with care.
The egg dyeing was again a success and the nest building was very good. All around us, we could see wild birds collecting material to build their own nests and the pigeon in the barn had laid an egg which was very visible. As we sat having our lunch, the first swallows appeared. We opened the attic door for them and immediately there were twitterings there too... Such an exciting time - full of hope and promise. I realise that I must have created this website a year ago as the post about the swallows building their nests was one of my first!
