Clickety click - #SilS94

This morning I had the sweetest encounter with a robin family on the nature reserve.  Silly, I don't know, but it was very funny!  As I walked down the path and under the trees I was mugged by two juveniles.  I have no idea what they thought they were after, but of course my camera was out so I started taking pictures.  I expected they would get put off by this, but not at all.  Infact it seemed to fascinate them.  Mum and dad were close by and calling for them, but - well they're teenagers - they took no notice.  When I knelt down to get close shots of one, the other came up behind me and pecked at the sole of my sandal.

Finally, hearing the parents chitting at them, I just got the feeling that it was the noise the camera made on repeat-firing that was fascinating them.  This funny little character is definitely listening, isn't he.  And the camera did sound like mum and dad.

In extras is a shot I think is of the other juvenile and there is also one of a parent.  Poor parent, just clock the dark circle round it's eye, they're running mum and dad ragged!  (Actually, I think it's the beginning of the moult, but it still made me smile).

Okay, that's me.  Last night we had a smattering of rain but today has been muggy and totally enervating.  However, a warm summer Saturday can never be all bad.  And thanks to Admirer for hosting the SilS challenge.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend  xx
