What's Buzzin' or Flying Near You Today..? MK 3..

About 45 years ago a baby blackbird fell down our chimney. Mrs Shiney took it to work with her - in a shoe box - and fed and watered it every hour. Each day when she got home from work she put it, still in the open box, on the patio. On the fifth day the mother came down and they went off together.

To be honest, although it was very cute I had got fed up with its cheaping by day five!

 

No idea what this is called

 

Now look Honeybunny you cannot be seriousits the wrong colour

 

The old Shiney family mansion used to have an outside privvy but the only wildlife were rats! It was a three bedroomed terrace house in the East End that housed my grandparents, my father and his nine brothers and sisters and his oldest sister's husband and three children .

I don't think they would have been charged the 'bedroom tax'!

 

They're great pictures

These are not so great. This scruffy robin is quite a character. Yesterday he was dive bombing a crow and today he chased off a pigeon. He doesn't seem to bother with any of the smaller birds. I've only seen him around for a few weeks so, maybe, he's a young one.

I hadn't got around to scrubbing the squirrel guard



I didn't quite catch a proper look at this insect and wondered what he is. Sorry it's just a side view but he disappeared quickly.
