We saw our baby blackbird out of the nest for the first time this weekend. The parents were flitting to and fro bringing food to it. The local cat took an unhealthy interest, but hopefully the baby bird will quickly learn to recognise this danger without coming to any harm.
The robin has discovered the meal worms bin in the workshop too. we caught it flying in the door to pick one out. The door in not normally open, so this is not really a problem. The blackbirds still wait for me to put some out for them on the bird table. The robin has also realised that there are meal worms in the window feeder on the kitchen window, and the worms I put in there disappear each day now. We have also seen blue tits coming to the window feeder for sunflower seeds. It has taken a couple of months for this feeder to start getting regular visitors, and they still try to visit when nobody is in the kitchen to see them. We are hoping as they get used to it they will start to visit when we are sat inside eating our breakfast.
