Little E and I jumped at the opportunity of a relatively sunny day to visit the Bird Farm again.

What relief for both of us to escape the indoors...it's hard being one and not-yet-walking when your Mama won't let you crawl in the mud.

But things aren't muddy at EBF...just soggy.

The creek is absolutely rushing, keeping the beavers very busy engineering and re-engineering their dam.

And with all the rain and wind, several trees have fallen over, wreaking havoc in flowerbeds and forest.

In other words, much has occurred since our last visit! There was much to investigate and plenty of exploration required whilst practicing walking.
