My friend blackie

Here’s a little story about my friend blackie, I love to see wild birds in the garden so I put out a variety of seeds nuts etc, I started to put a handful of sultanas in a bowl and put them out for the blackbirds, the sultanas were kept in a tub in the windowsill in the kitchen so I’m assuming one particular blackbird was watching and would see me fill the bowl and bring it out, so one day he appeared on the fence outside the window I showed him the bowl and asked him if that was what he wanted I put some sultanas in the bowl put them outside and once I’d moved away he flew down and had his fill so he’s been a regular visitor ever since for the last 18 months, if he’s ever short of food he knows if he comes to the fence by the window he’ll get some sultanas, so one day last year I’d put his bowl out and it started to pour down with rain so I thought I’d put it in the porch by the back door until the rain had stopped, well there I was sitting in the kitchen he popped in the porch and fetched some sultanas I was amazed, I nipped upstairs to get my video camera and about 10 mins later he was back taking more, its always great to see him, I hope he hangs around for years to come.
