Vicously attacked

[bobleponge]

Was trying to hack down a ginockerous honeysuckle plant which is threatening to engulf my garage when I spied a birds nest. Being quite a softy, I stopped, thinking I would have a look to see if it had tenants, if so I would leave the task till after they had flown the nest.
Clearly I didnt stop quite quick enough for Mme la blackbird, who flew from her nest in a right strop, dive bombing me and screaming very loudly.
I hadnt seen her initially, so she made me jump when she flew right at me, then she made me smile with her continued assault as I retreated back to the safety of my house.
Will have to keep an eye out now for fallen fledgelings.
'Twas nice to see though.

What do the froggies call blackbirds boble? Good on Mme le noir-oiseau btw!

Ooh lovely, hope they stay safe

[bobleponge]

They are called Merle, Mme Merle is still outside gobbing off as I type. Stroppy madam.

There's been a really vicious pigeon protecting her nest in a tree just by our plot!
When our neighbour warned me about it I thought he was pulling my leg.....until I was dive bombed myself whilst popping my bags down!....having spent the last week or so dealing with a stroppy broody hen,I should have known how protective they get,but really wasn't expecting a pigeon to fly out at me like that!....you have my true sympathies Bob...although not sure that a stroppy Blackbird is quite as scarey as a stroppy pigeon!
