Afternoon Tea

We have a blackbird's nest in the garden but we haven't exactly seen where, as the birds fly behind the shed. Both birds have been working so hard going back and forward, always along the same flightpath.

As I came into the garden from the car this afternoon the male was on his way to the nest. I didn't want to upset him, I knew I was standing between him and his nest. I got out my camera and took some shots. Trying to hide behind a tree I moved forward and took some more.

In my last attempt to get a shot I bobbed down to shoot under the branches then I left him alone to get afternoon tea to his hungry offspring.

Amazed how the colour of the berberis flowers exactly match his eyelids!
