I don't know what to do. There is this cat "Mr Verner" roaming around on the property. Last year I borrowed a trap and was able to catch him. He is an old fellow, all 4 fangs were broken off and one of his front legs is stiff. I castrated him, treated an ear infection and administered flea drops. He was so hungry - he even ate chicken food. Now I'm moving and I'm asking myself whether I should take him with me. The problem is: he is wild, very wild. In the trap he was acting like mad. Should I leave him here? I can't imagine that he can support himself - without teeth and with a bad foot. But he will be desperate when he is locked up. And when he escapes at the new place he won't have a chance eather.

	Catch him and provide a life in a "golden cage".
	Leave him - he managed to survive in the last 5 years or more and will do so in the future.

I watched a busy pair of Willy Wagtails building their nest in the rotary clothes dryer. A perfect little tea cup.



They were so cute to watch.



Loving parents. Two brown-spotted eggs in the size of broad beans.



Of course I didn't use the clothes line! But it was very clear this couldn't last. Too many enemies around: Starlings, Magpies, Ravens - all looking for a snack. So the morning after I took the photographs the whole nest was gone. Hopefully the birdies will now choose a saver place for their offspring.
