Getting braver

We have a two year relationship with this feller. He's always taken flight at the mere sight of us, even though he returns daily for the seed we put down for him. Last year he and the missus felt confident enough to bring the chicks to see us but only while we hid, twitching the curtains.

Today, bold as brass at breakfast time, here he was, brazening it out while I took his pic. Either he's much braver, or very hungry. Braver, I think.

I've only just noticed the snail, by the way.
