He looks sleepy, John. Hadn't noticed the beak before and was wondering if it was a sign of old age, how long has he been visiting you and is he an old bird? like the shot too, nice BG.

Hi Andy
Just over two years now, but he could have been around much longer- I don't know.
Its the funny eye which makes him look sleepy. ( Mine are the same ! )
I,ll catch him ans swap you for a stoat. ! :wink:
Cheers
John

Great shot John. He does look half asleep. I hope the beak doesn't become more crossed!
