You bold bird!

Yesterday’s bold blackbird made a reappearance. It flew onto the gravel from the trellis wall, and hopped towards a freshly pulled-up plant. After pecking for a moment, it hopped about, regarding us for a while. It flew up onto the roof of the metal shed. No one knows if it realised Mr Perkins was lounging in his nearby nest.

Bored by Mr Perkins’ lack of interest, the bird flew right past me into the bee tree, and landed on the wall. It looked about a bit, then flew past again, which is when I got this photo, then after lingering a little more, it flew off.
