| Female Blackbird MJR. |
It's as well I am a Bad Birdwatcher because watching in the
garden during this snowy spell has been a little dull. The hour's count for the
RSPB Big Garden Bird watch was not 'big' in any form as I haven't a big garden,
nor any 'big' birds nor yet any 'big' numbers to report. Sad to say I saw 3 Blackbirds, 1 Dunnock and 3 House Sparrows.
Not much to report BUT for 30
minutes I had a lovely time watching a female Blackbird. She came in to peck at
the apple cores I throw out each day so spent some time enjoying them before flying
on to the branch of the rosemary bush. There she sat for half an hour enjoying
the sunshine, now and again preening and turning her head to check that nobody
else was around. I like to think she really appreciated a quiet place to take
her ease and a break from the bustle and competition in other well stocked
gardens. I know I enjoyed sharing some time with her.
