Baby Day

Must be the time of year.

Yesterday I saw a friend’s new-born babe for the first time; visited a pig about to give birth; got to cuddle a litter of adorable, three-day-old pups…..and had the joy of peering into a nest of pied wagtail chicks.

The nest had been made - typically - in a hole in a bank of earth. As I bent down, I saw five pairs of big eyes, staring back at me. But even as I leaned in to snap my first photograph, one of the chicks decided it was time to leave home and - quite literally - flew the nest…..darting by just inches from my nose. Never to return.

A few more hours, and they’ll all be gone. Part of the teeming tapestry of the moors.
