Got up to Stringbean telling me there was a bird in the house. There was indeed a bird, maybe a young Blackbird, fluttering about in the mad trapped in a house bird kind of way. Whilst I pondered what to catch it with, and open the back door, there was a ‘thud’ and it all went quiet. Couldn’t find it at first, but BB found it on the hallway floor.
Seemed pretty dead, must has flown into the window above the side door and killed itself. Girls thought it all rather interesting though.

Butterbean and Stringbean are arguing over ‘eating’ the Kiwi Fruit skins left when I peeled one to go in my breakfast. (SB likes to scrape the remaining fruit out with her teeth).
