FLAGS FOR CAROLINE

 The mallards have gone off on a house-hunting expedition... Can't blame them - this is frankly no place to bring up wee ducklets. There's a treetop war going on above between the Crows & the Magpies. I'm kind of glad the Crows are prevailing...
All the same - Crows have no compunctions over emptying a nest of speckledy turquoise eggs while mother Mallard nips off for a quick coffee & croissant...
