Might open my patio today for swimmiing lessons, would make a fortune! :)
Been watching our little family of baby blackbirds who are now old enough to feed themselves - one has had the brainy idea of just sitting on the birdtable platform under its little slate roof, a real shelter for him ......... he has sat there for the past 20 mins occasionally staring upwards, you can almost read his mind ..."Hmm this is nice, keeping nice and dry here!" he keeps shooing all the other birds off if they attempt to land on it, - bit selfish really, but he did get there first! Really amusing! :)
