Spring

Sunny days at spring is not a given thing, but we’ve been lucky, and I have been able to watch and enjoy all the new arrivals from a good spot, while sitting on an old garden bench. I was not the only one who had a good time at the bench, the woodpecker had too.

A shocked bird

   

 

 

Some months ago, when it was still winter, I wrote about the remains of the apples, that we had throw in the garden to feed the birds. ( Street rain and some apples…. ) Last week, I decided to remove the sad remains of the remains, in an attempt to make the garden look as if it was under human control. The birds can find lots of food now, I thought, and as the apples was laying under the hedge in the front yard, we were confronted with the sad sight every time we went out. I did a lot of thinking before I went in action, to be sure that the needs of both humans and birds had been taken into consideration.

Convinced that I was doing the right thing, I started to fill the the wheelbarrow, when suddenly a furious blackbird landed in front of me, and in notes of warning chirped
“STOP STOP!! Are you out of your mind….what are you doing???”  

I realized, that this wasn´t rotten apples at all, but a  golden storeroom, owned by this young and handsome bird, who I am sure have told every female bird in the area about his wealth. I stopped my garden cleaning, and went to take my camera instead. The bird was still guarding his treasure when I came back, and even my camera isn´t that good, I think it is easy to see that this bird is a shocked bird.

The garden is still not under human control, – but we have a very satisfied bird!
