A tiff.....

or some would could it a 'domestic'.

Mr and Mrs Backbird are in disagreement over a nice bit of crust. He arrived with it and got sick of it, wandered off down the garden for other tasty morsels. She arrived and took to the crust, savouring every little bit. Of course he didn't like that and decided to circle her, chirping madly and just being annoying! Then confrontation came 'enough was enough!' were her words but whose beak is the sharpest! After these words he rose to be as tall as he could, flapped his wings while she angrily eyed him from the ground, alas he left her to the crust. But it was not long before he was back circling her. I thought she'd given in as she wandered off and he was on guard of the crust but she caught him unawares, a sharp turn, a bit of a run and she was after him, he flew away and she got the crust - who'd have thought!

Whats left of the crust is on the left of the image, just below the brown leaf.

A long day in the garden today, weeding and planting with Mr and Mrs blackbird waiting for me to move on. They have become like family, watching me, getting quite close at times, chattering away and a little cheeky as well. They have a fledging to feed and are constantly pecking at the soil while the fledging is constantly demanding with its 'chirp-chirps'.

A good day but I'm tired now, my eyes are a little sore from the dust of the soil, might take it easy tonight.

Have a great weekend blippers :)
