5 seconds on the branch if that!

When I went to hang out the washing today, the garden was a cacophony (?) of sound and I saw at least two lots of male and female blackbirds going mad with a feeding frenzy for a family? It seems early. So I caught this one landing and it flew off in a second or so.
Thumb news: thank you for your kindness, it’s no worse, not really any better, but the infection hasn’t gone any further than the permanent marker line that the Doctor drew around my thumb.
