Lennox, one of the two cats in my lodging in Exeter is a prodigious hunter. Hardly a week goes by when he doesn't manage to nab a mouse, vole, or some other rodent. Recently birds are increasingly on his hit list.
Today he must have raided a nest because he brought in a nice baby bird. He has been toying with it for about 20 minutes now. I've never watched a cat manhandle a bird before, at least not in person. Quite a sight.
So while nature takes its course, I'm going to bed. If I'm first up in the morning, I'll have some feathers to collect.
Once more into the breach,
Ben
