Hi all,So I've been sitting at my computer and looked outside my window and saw a blackbird just sat in my garden like it's looking at something in a bush (as a cat would do scoping something out).It was laying there for quite some time, I kept looking out for about 20 minutes to see if it was still there.. Still not moved.I thought it might have been injured so I attempted to go and check on it, when I opened the back door it flew off seemingly absolutely fine.5 minutes later, it appears again in the exact same position.Does anybody have an explanation?Thank you
Was Blackbird in the sun ... could have been sunbathing or maybe 'anting' to deal with mites, see here ...
