Baby Birds update and, you will be glad to know, unrelated picture!
The blackbirds are now fully fledged and Sam, our nice gardening person, has cut the laurel back to about 7ft or so (a bit over 2m) - and the satellite signal is fine. The young blackbirds are fun to watch; there are at least three of them, as we have seen three at the same time, and they have decided our back garden is a good place to hop around looking for food. Also a good place to sit on bushes and cheep plaintively in the hopes that a parent will come with food, but their parents are turning a deaf ear!
I only seem to see them when both camera and phone are out of reach so no pics. But here is a picture of Tegi to show a) how unstressed she is if I go in to feed her for a couple of days, and b) that she can look totally not-fierce!
And - coming soon - it's Flower Festival 2019! We are not taking part this year and so I have time to visit some of the other venues. You have been warned!
