A little egg - new beginnings

Today my little zebra finches left a teeny tiny egg in the bottom of the cage. An egg so tiny it would not fill up a cricket!

So perfect though and so full of promise. Unfortunately it was abandoned and so I rescued it to photograph honestly and survey. Too  big for the bird that laid it I think.

This year has started with a bang, slam and crunch.  Not too auspicious beginning for a new year.   Difficult so far, but nothing we have not dealt with before. 

So here is to new beginnings and I hope softer landings.
