Description

I am on lookout duties, the newly fledged blackbird chicks seem to be saying " come and get it ". They are sitting in the most obvious places and we have visits from 3 cats all belonging to neighbours. I am leaving my garden hose on to shoo them is needed away from the chicks. I hope they develope a sense of danger soon. I know it is a primevil instinct that drives the cats. I just wish the cats where so full of "Whiskers" catfood they couldn't be bothered to chase the chicks!

Keep up the good work, my friend. I was so fed up with losing blackbirds to cats (and I adore cats, by the way), that I made a 'prison' round the side of my house. Cats cannot get in, but birds can. Right now I have a nest of blackbirds a few feet away from my window. Toast, cheese, mealworms twice a day along with a small waterfall ensures their safety - for a while, anyway. Thank you for your vigilance and the lovely image. ^-^

So beautiful and I am so glad that you look out for them. I love cats and I know they do hunt by instinct, but if it can be prevented that that is GREAT.
