A surprise in the garden


So the previous owners of the house left us several huge pots out by the pool, all of them with some form of plant in it. Most of them we presumed dead when we moved in. We've since found that that no, actually, that's not true. However, one of them is actually wholly and completely dead. Well, last weekend when putting some of the new plants in, we went to rip it out of the pot so we could re-use it. I reach my hand down to get the plant by it's core and... well, picture says it all.
A couple of days ago while standing in the kitchen making coffee, I found out which bird is watching over these. From the kitchen window I saw one of our quail hovering around, and eventually entering the pot.
