Journal entry for 13th - 15th November 2015, Sitooterie Journal 5

Description

'The sky looked like two pages of a book this morning one side blue and the other side streaked with pink...
A great flapping of wings and chatterings... and there are 3 blackbirds one down by the pond and two at the feeders... The small male by the pond and the large male try to chase off a large female on the feeder...
So winter is beginning... the blackbirds are staking out their territory and it will be the survival of the fittest or the most wily!'
