'East, west, home is best' the old saying goes. This image supports it. Excellent.

Lovely image Fran. Its easy to forget what is right on your doorstep sometimes. I have got a young male Blackbird who has the cutest speckled head I have every seen - hes very handsome and very demanding for his daily supply of raisins. I can't believe it but I haven't even taken a photograph of him. Better not leave it too much longer. :smile:

Pays never to overlook what's on your own doorstep.
Lovely shot framed beautifully by the surrounding vegetation.
