Eager eaters

I've just finished making a chicken curry for dinner tonight.

As usual I cut off any visible fat & put it out for the birds. It didn't take long for Mr & Mrs Blackbird to find it. They took it in turns to feed. Yes, I think they're paired off again. The table is rapidly cleared.

I sometimes think our birds keep their beady eyes open to see if I come out of the door & wait to see if I go towards the feeders & tables. If I do, they're always quickly there to check what goodies I've brought them that day.

Still it's a small price to pay. I love to watch them in the garden. They repay my attentions with endless entertainment.
