Except a song thrush, looking for snails to batter on Clay Lane as I had seen one do a few days ago, using a large stone as an anvil for a spot of mollusc inquisition. When the rain comes, blackbirds pull worms out of the ground with ease.
They may only be a small bird, but they seem to be able to thrash The Earth at Tug of War.

Some nice Sunset views. Not an easy subject.
ReplyDeleteWe have few song thrushes here Si - we sometimes hear one at sundown but never see it - and it is a bird I love.
ReplyDeleteWe should all make the most of going out in the evening to watch the sun set, lovely images...

Thank you folks, it was a lovely evening! Our Mrs Blackbird returned to her nest of earlier in the year, spruced it up, laid some eggs and was chased off by next door's cat after two days. Very sad again. That cat will prevent any birds nesting in my parent's garden again.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Never had you down as such a sensitive appreciator of nature; but then we were young and unruly and cared not so much about such things back then, perhaps. Seems like an age ago. Lovely website, enigmatic pics. :) x
ReplyDeleteThanks SArah it is good to see you on here, reading my stuff. I was always interested in natural stuff, these days it is more serious, and I can find the words to describe it.
