a small glass tank in the garden. The Man had filled it with tadpoles and was about to film them but when his back was turned the blackbird flew down, jumped in and splashed around, then she noticed the tadpoles and scoffed them.*
The tank has stayed there and she comes every day for an afternoon bath, the tadpoles have not been replaced but the Man buys fancy blueberries which he cuts in half and leaves them in a saucer by the tank so she can snack and swim.
*Coronovirus Lockdown has meant that all travelling filming work has been cancelled, all the kit has come to live in our house, where it sprawls over kitchen, dining room and garden and threatens to take over upstairs
