In any case the Dog-Fox didn’t break-out last night !! The Hedgehogs had eaten well and as well did the Barn Owls in “The Keep” > nothing was left-over. Because the stretching-tendons of the “good” foot of the Yellow-legged Gull (10-017; January 24^th ’10) definitively are “gone”, there was decided to put down the bird, which was done at 7.40 a.m. Irah was taught again in the “noble art of injury-stitching”. At 4 p.m. we discovered in the crow-aviary in the court-yard of the House-next-door, sitting very dead in a corner, the “nest-misfit” Hooded Crow (09-067; May 29^th ’09). So the cold weather was at last fatal for him/her.
