He used to dash out of sight if a human came near, but now he lies in the sun all day with his eyes shut, impervious to possible predators.
Last week we found him in the chicken yard, a crazy place to go for any creature that does not wish to be pecked to death.
I suspect the old fellow is living his final days. If he is to die, I hope he dies happily, lying on the paving in the sun.
