I now have a new mate on the plot, named Blackie by my daughter! (who pointed out the bird and I were both working hard to feed our babies!Ahh ;D)
Yes a blackbird that works about a foot away from me gathering worms and anything else that crawls..we love Blackie!!!
Poor thing must have a huge family to feed judging by the amount of worms he had in his beak at each visit, (approx 7, and a centipede!) Wife calls from the tree, and he is off!!!
And the best thing, was as I was packing my tools in the car today, he was serenading me, from the top of my bean pole, like to think he was saying thankyou for all the grubs, but more likely thank goodness you are going, I can get on feeding my family in peace without you rabbiting away to me ;D Was a great thing to see this morning :) :D
