Week 20

Stalking the blackbirds Zooming in and out in the garden at the blackbirds again.

She is on the nest

He is feeding her

He has three or four stopping places before he goes into the nest. He starts on the the tall fence which is fairly open, he can see the nest and the garden. Sometimes he flits along a little closer to the shrubs that afford him some cover, more waiting, more looking. He can’t see the nest from here but he is nearer to the shrubs. He can hear the click of my shutter though! Then onto the low fence which is much closer to the shrubs. It is also right next to the water bath but he can’t visit that this time. From here over to the arch, his last look out post from where he can see the nest. More waiting and waiting, checking and checking and keeping his eye on me!

Then when I blink my eyes he has taken the short flight up into the ivy to his lady. I miss that bit!

What a great system! Isn’t nature wonderful?

Thank you Helena.
