It's been a lovely day here. It didn't get above 20 centigrade, no clouds until late afternoon.
I got some weeding done outside the house, started on my replacement coffee table, got the rotting hay off the hay rack and flushed the gray water piping.
Just about to fill my stomach.
Everybody home safe and with minimum fuss.
I saw the West Bank weasel this evening slipping through the grass on the bank side of the sheep field track. It's his/her favorite ambush spot. Notch was on its case before it got close.

No weasel got Notch.
Notch saw the weasel first. It was by looking where Notch was looking that I saw it. You don't usually see them. They're not big here and there are plenty of mice and other things to eat. A chicken attack gone wrong can be an expensive mistake for a weasel.
They will manage a chick though and that's the concern at the moment.
Mums and chicks are fully out and about. The chicks are far more spread out when cover is reached. So far they've been careful to make a dash across open ground, if not accompanied by mum/s.
I've had a chick taken by a weasel right outside my house as I cleaned a coop out. One minute the chick was there; next minute gone and not a sound.

I've never tried them Penny. I use clay drinking jugs. I'll try to remember to take a picture of one. I change the water daily, sometimes when it's hot 2 or 3 times.

Actually, it's a belated birthday. Had to have 2 people(family members) help me get it together, both of them hollering at me for being so stupid. Just another day in paradise.
