THE BIRDS

...... but not by Daphne du Maurier or Alfred Hitchcock.

Today is World Book Day. I have books, I have hundreds, nay, thousands of books. The easiest and laziest Blip in the World for me. So what happens? We get up this morning to a Starling Tree; the sound of them chirping and chatting was deafening. I even videoed them.

This picture was taken after carefully opening the back door; quite a lot had already flown off, and there was another tree to the left with more. I printed off the image and started counting. After 600 I decided to multiply the tree area by the number, and by that reckoning I guess there were over 2,400 in this tree alone.

I'm so glad I didn't have any washing out and that my car was in the garage.
