I have been out doing what Sandra calls 'steadiness' training every morning. This involves walking around the dog walk and sitting quietly every time we see something chase-able ... rabbits, ducks, squirrels ... which is every few minutes as the site is teeming with wildlife!
There are two duck families with about seven ducklings each

| Too cute to chase |
There is also a moor hen family whose babies are really fluffy and fast - so fast we couldn't get a photo!
Apparently I am doing quite well with my steadiness, although this morning I was distracted slightly more than usual as we encountered a couple of swifts flying over an open part of the site - they were dive-bombing me and seemed close enough to catch, but NO I had to sit down and be quiet!
