Song Thrush

Today's the day .......................... for a take-away

I was doing a spot of gardening in the front garden when I heard that unmistakeable sound.

It was Mrs Song Thrush preparing tonight's tea for the little one.  She was annihilating the shell of a snail by dashing it against a paving stone - in order to get the juicy morsel out from inside.  Meanwhile, Junior had managed to fly on to the top of the clematis (see below) and was just waiting while she got things organised.

It was win/win all round.  Mrs ST got the tea sorted, Junior got fed - and there's one less snail in the garden to eat my plants .............................
