Low hanging

This year's fig crop has been outstanding, it's been hard to get through them.*

I accidentally alerted the chooks when I threw out some soggy ones. Since then, Mrs Burford (head hencho)  has been hanging around the fig tree and today she spotted one that was only a few inches above her head.

Hens can jump!  Within minutes she had pecked it to pieces. And was looking for more.

*I have invented a technique for partially dehydrating them after poaching in honey and lime juice.
