No eggs from the chucks today and only one yesterday after three eggless days. I really enjoyed having a day at home with Hedley today. I have been slowly contemplating from escaping my career/winter rut but enjoyed a nice long walk to the beach at Thorness with Hedley. From a distance we saw approx 20 curlew fly up from a field, 157 pale-bellied brent geese and 3 oystercatcher. Hedley was really good on his lead...but once off the lead went mud bathing and found some other labradors and dogs to play with before I had chance to call him back and re-lead him and ask permission for him to play.
