Guarding the larder.

When you find a good source of food you just have to protect it. A Blackbird stakes his claim to an abundant collection of hawthorn berries and is intent on protecting it from allcomers. 


 Wherever you are ... have a great wildlife watching weekend.  FAB.

    He appears to be a good guard.

    We are over here in the oven called the USA. We're not venturing outside at all.
