What I thought was a leaf floating on the water in a bucket turned out to be a cricket. It was flat and limp and I thought it had drowned. But it went from 2D to 3D after I rescued it. Two hours or so later it had gone – had it hopped away or had a blackbird got it?

Meanwhile, Felix was riveted by the sight of a flock of waxeyes which descended on the Japanese Anemones and roses outside the window. Next minute, he was out getting amongst it – but the birds were long gone by then.
