Nature always finds a way!!
Posted by: cyberevolution in General, tags: Family, From LARD 2 HARD, General, Karma, Picture…My garden leaves an awful lot to be desired at the moment. It’s practically a nature reserve the way I have left it to it’s own devices with wild elderflower and strawberries and blackberries to boot! Anyways, this morning whilst I munched on my cornflakes I spied out of the kitchen window to see what was making all the noise as there was a constant alarming bird chirping away!
It turns out upon closer inspection that “mother” blackbird pictured here>
Clearly showing here crested war wounds of a previous scuffle with next doors cat, had spotted said feline snoozing right by the side door to my garage, inside which mother blackbird and her partner “Butch-Black” as I call him pictured here >>
Have decided to nest, judging by his gobfull above, it would appear that I am unofficially a Blackbird grandparent and there are currently little blackbird chucks clucking away in there for their breakfast; mother blackbird was very brave distracting the dis-interested snoozing feline from next door while daddy flew in to feed the little ones!
This was so fascinating it almost made me late for work this morning, which I managed to do by walking for a change (all part of my new exercise regime) and yes I even fit in a workout this morning too!!

Awww
I’m always in too much of a rush in the mornings to notice anything!
Our next door neighbours have too many dogs for birds to venture within a mile of our garden!! And I’m usually to tired in the mornings to pay attention to anything other than the road ahead!
You got some great pics though…how did you get those birds to keep still long enough?!
Lol…I was lucky, I actually took over thirty shots, in the hope I would get a couple like these ones! hehe..(me=amateur photo dude) plus I used a long 70-200mm Lens…
