Daylight at last!

[Nicos]

Oh- a while then

[Two_Sheds]

Have you noticed how the evenings are starting to draw out a bit now?

Yep, and I heard the first blackbird song (real singing, not just clucking) as I biked home through the countryside today
That means he's trying to defend his patch and attract a mate, so spring is on its way

Brill Two Sheds. I can't wait to hear the Blackies singing.
Folklore says St Valentines day is the day they choose their mates - so not long to go.

[Glutton4...]

You're not the only one Two Sheds, we've got Blackbirds yelling their heads off down the lane!

Also got about five of them competing with the Chooks for the layer's mash. It's funny watching the hens chasing them away.

Have you noticed how the evenings are starting to draw out a bit now? It's nearly 5:20 and the girls are only just starting to put themselves to bed. It doesn't seem that long ago they were all in bed just after 4

I was just thinking that this evening! If I belt out of work at 5pm and really get my foot down, in a couple of weeks I should be able to say goodnight before they go to bed.

Yay

Yours are ex-bats too, aren't they, and used to fighting for every bit of food? Brave, brave blackbirds

I heard a blackbird really singing his little heart out last week, it was absolutely beautiful
