Roadmap Out Of Lockdown Step 4 - Day 14

Great Spotted Woodpecker - taken through the window, at the bottom of the garden, on a dark, wet morning. So don’t look too closely!

A quiet day engrossed in the Olympics, apart from when... Sid turned up at 8.30am, crept up behind her, and viciously attacked an unsuspecting Toffee, pulling out chunks of her fur; the third day in a row that he’s attacked her. She has spent the rest of the day hiding in her basket. Sid is no longer welcome; he’s twice the size and half the age of Toff, and has razor sharp claws. If I see him again, as cruel as it sounds, he’s getting a squirt from the hose. In fact that’s what a vet advised me to do when he first turned up. Sounds harsh, but enough’s enough, needs must...

Take care, stay safe and well...
