Worms

Was intending to help out with the feeding of one or more of the baby blackbirds but the parents were Not Friendly. Chuttered and then swooped down rather too close to My head. There's no understanding some bird brains.

One of the males (the tatty overworked one) is getting more and more friendly with Him. Every time He goes out to the allotments it appears and follows Him at a distance of about 3 feet. Opens and shuts its yellow beak hopefully until He digs a worm for it. Yesterday the robin joined in too. Until it tried to fly off with a worm that was frankly Too Big and Heavy. Crash landed and the blackbird nipped in and stole the worm. Robin went off in a huff.
