I found it! The bird scarer! I couldn't see it yesterday only heard it....a lot......and because Jade is having serious issues with the thing going off every 30 minutes or so I wanted to see just how near to FS it really was. Well I walked back to the same field yesterday where I saw all the geese and sure enough there they were again. Looking around to see if I could find the thing, it suddenly went off. Well talk about jump out of my skin! I nearly had a heart attack it was that loud. As for the geese, they never batted an eyelid. I eventually found it poking through the hedge and pointing directly at the geese The geese did take off but only when I walked toward them. So I should send a note to the farmer. All that is needed is a human scarecrow. One would only have to walk the fields from 6.30 in the morning (yep that's when the first bang starts) until dark, around 9pm. A mere 15 hours! It's no wonder Jade is living in perpetual fear at the moment!

On my way back I noticed a red blob in the middle of the field. Turned out to be a highly coloured male pheasant.

Tomorrow we need to top up the water tanks (we have 2) and empty the loo's again. Christine's due date was today but still no sign of baby making an appearance. So with Josh at school from 9am till 3pm we feel we can get to Shobnall and back in plenty of time.
