Beautiful baby blackie!


It sat on my hanging basket for ages!


Then tried the table!



The chair!




This time, it couldnt get on top of the fence, but was looking up at the sturklings, as if to say 'how do i get up there! Tried for ages, poor thing!





Then back on the patio!

  4. What I love about blogging and the forum is being able to share excitement about birds and fledglings with like-minded people. They must think I'm mad/boring at work :)

    Beat me by two days, Karen :)

  6. I'm playing catch up as usual, and I loved all the posts I caught up with and your photos. I'm so glad you did what you could for the Wood Pigeon, I hate suffering especially when it is helpless creatures. Sorry to remind you of it but was it a cat that caused the problem?

This morning i saw it again!Found feathers in my border, but no body, so hoping the victim got away. its a real pain isnt it?!Will keep trying! karen x

  8. Hi again Karen. How very sad, and you sound just as frustrated as I am with cats. Like you I love all animals but the senseless killing of birds by cats upsets me more than I can say. I have spent a lot of money on two electronic deterrents but still one particular cat persists, and like you I found feathers in the border yesterday but no body so hope its latest prey may have escaped. I put photos of a beautiful Song Thrush on my blog some time ago and a few weeks later found what I'm sure were its feathers and since then there has been no sign of it. Its beautiful song had thrilled me for weeks, and I have been so saddened by what happened that I haven't even felt able to write about it on my blog. I really don't know what the answer is.
