Visit from 11th November

We fed Barnabas with pig nuts and fruit snacks, gave the hens mealy worms for their 2 o’clock (Sarah taps on the kitchen window with her beak if we are late), and checked for reptiles (slow worms, common lizards) under the reptile mat. A reptile mat is an artificial refuge for reptiles and can be made of metal or roofing felt. Perhaps we need to wait until spring to see reptiles basking out. They can shelter in the wall in the winter.
