More Blackies!



There's never a dull moment when the Blackbirds are around. Top picture is the same one that comes in through the kitchen window when it's open and he has little fear of humans. In fact he was perched on my leg for a good 20 seconds this week whilst feeding on sultanas I had placed on my lap.
This female in the lower picture must think she's a Blue Tit as she can't stay away from the fatty balls.
Elsewhere the Blue Tits continue to use the same nesting box but there has still not been any signs of them bringing in food to feed chicks. I'm beginning to think they're just using us as a 2nd home!
Still loads of Siskins and Starlings about and we even had a Jackdaw on the peanuts today which is unusual. There was a couple of Goldfinches at the feeders today also but they still haven't found the Nyjer seed. All the more for the Siskins then!
