A lot of luck.

Yesterday while at work I spotted a beaky standing close to a hole in an old willow tree. This particular beaky took off, only to return, what seemed like only seconds with a maw full of what looked like worms of some kind. Having watchd this procedure a few times I took a veru exiting pic of the ole which I hope that you will all enjoy. During one of the aforementioned forays I approached the hole, lifted my camera above my head and with all the skill of a complete idiot, pointed the lens into the hole. Below are the resulting pics.
Beaky is spotted!
Exiting pic of hole.
Waiting for the next delivery.
Within seconds of me leaving Beaky was back and continued the feeding regime during the rest of the day.

Wonderful Toto! Thanks for showing us... :o)
I see lots of Blackbirds disappearing into a near-by Leylandi hedge but when I peek in I can't see a single nest! They are very clever at disguising them, and going into the hedge at a point no-where near the nest to fool you!

...everything BUT free drinks - perhaps they'd offer that if we suggested it!

I always carry at least one camera Nannymargaret.
I've just looked at the website that you have detailed Wagger. It didn't say how my booze would be paid for by working only six hours a day so don't think I'll join.
