The weather has cleared when we step into the yard and I notice Christmas lights hanging on the ridge of the barn. The family dog hops on me, but no one answers when I knock on the door. The light blue light of a television set glows in the living room of the bungalow so I knock on the window. A couple inside sit at both extremities of a sofa watching a swaggering police Alsatian in an Austrian cop series.

The farmer finally comes to the door with a smile that exposes his red gums.

“That earmark is not mine, it’s my brother’s, who lives on the next farm; let him tend to his own flock. My brother and I haven’t spoken to each other for seven years. A dispute over borders. They’ve recently sent us another threatening letter, just because of the drainage ditches we dug. Now all of a sudden they think they’ve become the spokesmen for wader birds.” Kinship is fatal.
