Getting better

The lads are definitely getting better. Took them both right out around the lower field a couple of days back and the stop's and starts are definitely improving although Lark still does this nudging business when he's stopped for longer periods - although it's less frequently it's enough for me to wonder how to respond???
They went around the hens with a little interest, past the pigs which caused a little stalling, the only thing that really stopped Sparrow was a drain covered with a metal grill that cut across the whole width of the road. It must only be 6 inches wide with a shallow drain underneath but Sparrow just couldn't cross it - in the end I went back around a different way rather than trying to drag him across. I didn't bother going that way with Lark incase the same problem arose - maybe I'll put a little straw ontop next time to disguise it?
