Blackbird Babies

Blackbird Babies - it sure sounds like a good name for a rockgroup!

But we already have a small group, called Blackbird Babies, in our back-yard. More specifically, there's a bunch of howling blackbird babies in the kolkwitzia. They smell really good. Skuggan likes to watch them from the balcony and I take my stake-out just below their little crib. Skuggan tends to watch and listen to them while licking her mouth. Hmm. I try to persuade Husse and Matte that we should climb up the bush, but they're not willing. Hence, my stake-out below instead. Maybe a little one will fall just right in front of me?! Then it will be take-out! Husse and Matte are the ones getting the angry messages from Mr and Mrs Blackbird. Especially Mr Blackbird is very determined keeping us away from his family. He made sure the touristing pigeons wanting to take a bath in the bird-bath went someplace else.

Stake-out. Maybe take-out?
