Shrew In A Shoe

[poliphilo]

Another shrew. Or maybe it was the shrew we had earlier and it never left.

Marlowe pointed it out to us. It was hiding in a pile of shoes. We started poking around and it climbed into one of my mother's Oxfords. I covered the opening with my hand, took the shoe to the bottom of the lower field (beyond the scope of Marlowe's wanderings, I think) and let the shrew loose in a woodpile.

We had a similar incident yesterday with our two mogs standing guard over one of my boots. I repatriated the shrew / vole thing to the bushes. Then the cats disgraced themsleves by killing a yellowhammer and leaving its corpse neatly on the hall floor. They are on the RSPB's "red list for rare birds. They are even rarer now.

I don't believe I've ever seen a yellowhammer.

I have mixed feelings about cats. There are times when I hate them.
