Ants are coming out of the computer ,blood pressure going up and down like a yoyo, recovering from a severe reaction to an antibiotic which made me look like a leper,now two Curlews have hatched , days late . Last night there was much screeching outside , so feeling as if I was whirling through space in Dr Who's telephone box, stumbled out to investigate : could not see any cause for the disturbance , no murderous Barking Owl, cat or dog. Is there a doctor in the house ? Will go to bed with a club and torch so that I can leap up at any hour of the night to clobber anything which threatens the chicks . Apart from losing the two earlier chicks , several people have reported that young Curlews hatched on their selections have disappeared or died , it being a bad year for them .
