Two posts in one day. I know, I am getting as bad as John. I just wanted to show you this picture that I took a couple of minutes ago. He is the Blackbird who sings all day and all night outside my bedroom window. I appreciate his warblings a lot.
He is a fine blackbird. We have one too. Peter talks to it and uses his hand miming like a beak to it. I am not sure how much he means his joy at its singing. He looks for it each morning as he leaves. I think it stops at night though. I wouldn't know, I have passed out by then.
Ah. A blah blah gesture. I was thinking of dog barking split fingers. My ex used to give magpies the military salute rather than wish them good morning.
Lovely photograph ...... nothing says Spring more than the song of a blackbird. We have one too..... intact, I think we have several singing to attract a mate. XXXX
When we have our early evening glass of rouge, there's a Blackbird who starts singing just behind us at precisely 5.30 pm. Do you think they have watches? Maybe they listen to the church bells!

DeleteIt's late and you were up for the Dawn Chorus. Don't be too hard on yourself.
DeleteThe blackbirds do sing a fine song.
ReplyDeleteThe Nightingale in Berkeley Square was one.
DeleteYou can't beat a good blackbird.
ReplyDeleteUnless you are a Nightingale?
DeleteToday was International Dawn Chorus Day. I expect the blackbird knew.
ReplyDeleteI knew. The blackbird told me at 4.00 am.

ReplyDeleteThe Black Watch.
DeleteHe stands proud. They help serenade me in the morning through by upstairs bedroom.
ReplyDeleteI think it is gulls who are responsible for crapping on the royal crown.
