In my garden!!!
Well, a dead one, anyway…
(Sorry, there might be pictures you don’t like here…)
Lil Man saw the photo and thought it looked cute… Dead, but cute…
But the circle of life, as it is, didn’t leave the rat there…
Quite a large raven came by, and after stalking for a while, making sure he wasn’t encroaching on anyone else’s territory, had a feast… While we were eating breakfast… Lovely!
Lil Man thought it was like watching the Discovery Channel live!
Gory, I know, but its an education in itself… This is how creatures in the wild survive…
And Sonu Singh watched on… He couldn’t see the rat, but watched the bird for ages… Maybe he was thinking, “oooh! If I was outside, I’d have a fun game of chase!”
Then, raven flew away, leaving a pile of entrails and a rat shell…
I couldn’t leave it for the kids to see, so armed with a shovel, I carefully carried the remains to one side, and disposed of them, as best I could…
(Gory pic alert!)
Poor rat, but seriously, what were you doing in my garden??? I sure hope there isn’t a colony of you somewhere nearby!
But I Smile Anyway...
