I love Dogs me...

It was my pleasure Nevs👍🏻, our wildlife is one of the utmost mental health supporters in my book. Whatever is wrong in our lives being around wildlife in their natural environment is a stress calmer free to all. It’s also good for the soul🙂

I’m sitting here watching through the patio doors as a female blackbird and her faithful dunnock friend root around in the rockery after bugs and crumbs. They always seem to be together. Fascinating!

That is just as it should be-Mother Nature free at the point of need👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻😊

Yep, better than tranquillisers👍😚

Out with my Dogs around 05:45am this morning, we met a Magpie chick that’d been displaced or fallen from its nest, it was big, ugly & noisy but nowhere near as noisy as its(both) parents. The Dogs sat looking at it with tilted heads as it laid back with its beak & talons raking the air. It looked like a baby velociraptor from Jurassic Park, geez they’re feisty little beggars. I managed to pick it up from behind enclosing it’s wings so it’s oversized beak couldn’t get at my hands. I placed it on a dead bleached ash tree-it jumped immediately into the tangle of Blackberry & wild rose briars. I was just glad to get away from the cacophony. I was initially concerned the feral cats would have it but after that encounter I think the jury is out on who’d win the cat or the mini Velociraptor. Have a good day👍🏻

You got it to a place of safety, Rocky, and I'm sure the feisty little thing will be fine. Birds do seem to be remarkably resilient. A woodpecker flew into our closed window the other day, dropped into a heather bush where it lay for a few minutes then zoomed off into the woods.

T-did it’s Bill scratch your glass?, geez them things are hard. Mother Nature gave them an extra strong skull to fend off any damage whilst tree digging👍🏻😊

I've not spotted any damage, Rocky. I think it must have been a gentle headbutt🙂.
