I drove home with precious cargo
yesterday...two carrier boxes containing eight blackbirds!
Arriving to us as orphans, these
popular garden birds have been fed and watered, weighed, observed and cared
for, over several weeks during their stay with us.
Finally, after reaching optimum
health and weight, these individuals can finally spread their wings and do what
they do best...visit our gardens, eat worms and sound off their distinctive and
beautiful bird song!
On opening the boxes it didn’t
take long before they leapt out and took flight...apart from the very last one
that is, which needed a little encouragement, as can be seen in the photo...
