Squawk and Flap

One of many (far too many) starlings landed on the big plant by the side of the pond. Have been eyeing this plant for some time - hangs neatly over the water and puts the fish within reach of a helping paw - and debating with Myself whether it would take the delicate weight of a slim and svelte Kitty of Superior Breeding. The leaves are certainly large enough to accommodate Myself easily but tend to sway slightly in the breeze which would be Rather Disconcerting. The starling was perfectly happy on the leaf and wandered around it pecking at tiny bugs but then disaster struck. It had come closer and closer to the edge and all of a sudden the leaf dipped violently down and deposited the starling in the pond. Much squawk and flap until it got itself out again. Am Extremely Glad Myself saw this occurrence before attempting to get on the leaf Myself.

Went for a sleep in My Nest at the back of the greenhouse where He keeps the fresh straw for Our chickens.
