This blackbird is very friendly and had a great time nibbling on a couple of fat balls I'd accidentally left out on the table.  In return for getting a great shot I left one fat ball out for a while longer.

Popped to see my friend with the Boxers as haven't seen them for quite a while.  It was really good to see them and to catch up.  Had a wander around her garden which is amazing and quite wild and natural.  Back home and started to do battle with the brambles.  So far I'm not winning :(  Having said the other day I hadn't seen many washed up jellyfish I saw 20+ today at Bowness on Solway.
