It's been a busy morning already & it's not even 9 o'clock. I was up early. At about half seven I put out the left over fat from yesterday's roast pork. Not long afterwards a couple of huge black-backed gulls swooped down. Mr Blackbird continued his nonchalant pottering around the lawn, no doubt finding plenty of worms etc. The seed feeders were beset with house sparrows. Great tits turned up to feed on the fat ball. The gulls returned to check I hadn't put yet more goodies out for them. The Fox & I ignored their insistent pleas, too busy with our own breakfast of baked beans on toast, though we kept an eye on all the activity going on outside. As the rain started to arrive the birds started to disappear into shelter, but not before Mr Blackbird had scurried across the yard to discover the gulls had left a few tasty scraps which he hastily finished off. A busy start to the day indeed.
