   Big ups and downs today. When I went for my afternoon walk, I found one of the baby butcherbirds on the ground (no photo). I'm absolutely devastated. Rationally, I know it's life and it happens, but in my heart, I can't help but think that if I hadn't skipped my morning walk, maybe something might have been different.

   A little further along, I see my baby magpie friend, practicing carolling while preening - a lovely moment that fills my heart & I feel lucky to have witnessed
