Nuttie
One from today. Taken just before a certain gentleman in our company (who shall remain anonymous) was attacked by 3 old ladies who had been feeding the birds there for 30 years and decided to empty half a ton of bird seed under a tree in the shade - result all our birds disappeared. You may recognise this gentleman by the tyre marks on his back where one of the old dears drove over him on her way out. :biggrin: :biggrin:

Lovely one Maggie, super pose. Same thing happened to me - not the run over bit - a couple of weeks ago; a woman got hold of my carefully placed perch - thought it was an old stick, threw it on the ground and with it a couple loaves of bread!! Photo finish!! :biggrin: :biggrin:

You always seem to have adventures when you go out - I'm not sure whether it's safe to be around you! :wink: :smile:
