Looking out...

We have a couple of pairs of Blackbirds in the garden, and this is the female half of the pair that live in the hedge near to the gate.  They share the hedge with a colony of Dunnocks but fortunately they all seem to get along well.  I often think it would be much smarter to live at the other side of the house where the feeders are, but that's where we see spats between the two pairs, so obviously the first pair have staked their claim and are prepared to defend it.

Thank you for the kind response to my blip of Elland Bridge yesterday;  I truly think it's an amazing feat of engineering - putting it back exactly as before, and making it strong enough to withstand today's heavy traffic.  Hopefully it will also withstand heavy flood waters should we be unlucky enough to have to contend with them too.
