No birds!

I thought I'd try for a bird blip today so went towards the kitchen window wondering why there weren't any birds about.  Then I saw the reason why! 

The cat lives in one of the neighbouring cottages and is quite attractive but I'd prefer it if it didn't come into our garden and sit directly underneath our bird feeders!  Luckily Ivy was fast asleep in her bed otherwise she would have chased it out of the garden.  It had to leap smartly up our silver birch tree the other day and you'd think by now it would have learnt that there is a dog who lives here who likes to chase cats but so far it hasn't cottoned on!
