    Nut, that is a lovely photo, I am worried as for the first year I have not got a blackbird singing on the TV aerial. I wonder if this is because I was given a Jack Russel last August and Blackbirds seem to feed a lot on the ground. The dog would not go for them, but they don't know that.

    We've got thrushes as well. It's a year or two since I heard the sound of snail bashing, great to hear it again.

    I'll check and see if any of the blackbirds would like to relocate artjak

    Wonderful, nut! image

    I'm seriously jealous of your thrushes though - I honestly can't remember the last time I saw one here - it may be over 20 years ago!

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    image  Is that a second or third brood Nut?  

    We've got two families of blackbird fledglings arguing about whose garden this is?  

    I'm disputing rights to the raspberries with them 

    I heard a songthrush singing from a tree near our garden the other night - so thrilled image

    The last time I saw one was at my mother in law's place - not far from Nut image
