Yesterday I managed to catch Cloud in the nest box before she laid her second egg of the year. I don’t quite know why but I like to get a photo of each girl in the nest box as they start to lay.
Today I had the first sighting of the year of a slow worm in the garden.
We know we have a thriving population of slow worms in our garden because we always see them between March and September. This one was a medium sized one. It’s always good to see them for the first time of each year.

So nice to see Slow worms in the garden.
We are always pleased to see slow worms in the garden.
Do the girls ever try to eat them, if they venture into the hen run?
Luckily they always seem to be at the bottom end of the garden furthest from the chicken run. I am sure the smallest ones would be in danger though which I would hate to see.
