    I think this is a chilli loving Meadow Brown - athough that doesn't look like the most comfortable of perches!

          The adult blackbirds don't take the slightest notice of us any more and just carry on with feeding. Even the female is now happy to sit on the bench with me. :rolleyespink: I think she liked it when I dug up some worms for her. :biggrin:

          Babies are doing well. There are four of them.

            My neighbour has now identified another nesting bird in the garden. It's a hobby. :blue thumb:

                      The three blacky babies are now four :rolleyespink:. The runt had been pushed down into the nest earlier but is fighting back now. :blue thumb:

                        Got buzzed by this beast today around the pond, so took camera outside hoping to get a shot, nothing, he disappeared so went indoors to put the camera away.
                        There he was stuck in the kitchen window bashing around.
                        Got a couple of quick pics then let him out.

                        The green colouring was much more brilliant than it looks in the picture.

                            We get those, especially round the small wood because of the river arrow that's there.

                              The babies are getting big :blue thumb: I can talk to them without them ducking down now. They're quite happy to see me - I think.
