Watch Ronnie and Derek playing with a golf ball and a bird nesting box.
Derek was in the shell eating some food and Ronnie thought he’d try to steal it, but Derek simply turned round to avoid him, resulting in the scene below. Ronnie tried to get in but failed, so Derek was triumphant and defiant!

Derek definitely enjoys a good scratch. Here he is having some in the recent hot weather.
Ronnie and Derek had a bit of a Pringle as a treat. Ronnie had eaten his but Derek was still eating his in the ‘coconut shell’. Ronnie thought he’d try his luck and steal Derek’s, but it didn’t work out.
