Blackbirds

Yesterday I indulged in what turned out to be a rather good day for localised bird-watching - this involves sitting at my pc and looking out of the window at regular intervals. At one point I saw what looked (they were some 50+ feet away from me) to be a male and female blackbird getting flirty on the fence which divides my garden from that of next door. Thank goodness for a telephoto lens and a camera which doesn't lie! It turned out to be an adult male and a juvenile!

The necessity of bird-watching is a really good reason for avoiding all forms of housework.

The dust will still be there tomorrow - the birds may not be!
