The Barbie and the Blue Tits

10/6/2012

 
The peaceful Saturday turned into something not far short of being described as a riot by the evening. First Kizzie and her car-load of friends arrived back from the show, having stopped at the Human's Supermarket en route. They struggled in piled high with bread rolls, bottles of drink and meat. Harvey looked on in utter delight. Then more friends arrived and Pete got cookin' on the Barbie. The smoke rose - we could see it - and the air was filled with yummy smells - we could smell it -and more friends arrived. Pete felt a bit queasy and others stepped in to take a hand at cookin'. Harvey galloped madly about, pretending to chase a toy that had been randomly thrown for him, whilst taking an ultra crafty detour via the food table, eyeing up the delicacies, and each time getting slightly closer in preparation for the sudden launch attack on an unsuspecting burger. It was a chilly evening however and the kettle was deployed in a steady brew of tea. Dad had returned from the Show with some pictures of the family - we will put them in the Picture Gallery - and he and Mum sought sanctity in front of the Euro Footy game - even though Kizzie wanted Mum to play badminton with them in the garden. Mum said she was very tempted, but having had a couple of glasses of wine and a bulky burger, luckily didn't give in to the temptation to join the hilarity outside. That was probably one of the most sensible calls she has made in reflection. The shuttlecocks (what breed is that?) apparently kept getting caught in the fir trees and people were seen to be standing two or three high in an attempt to retrieve them.
Luckily the Blue Tits fledged at 7.30 this morning and all took to the safety of the fir trees to regroup. Hopefully they will dislodge the remaining shuttlecocks whilst they are there!

The first baby Blue Tit appeared at 07.25 and he took some time scanning around before turning right to the firs. He was closely followed by numbers 2 & 3; then number 4 - all flying to the same place. Number 5 was more cautious and thoughtfully looked around - until he too flew with his siblings to the fir trees, just 8 minutes later.  The parents came back with grubs and checked and immediately joined their five babies in the trees.

    About Us

    Hello! My name is Gordon and I am a Gold Sebright and my best friend is Sylvia. She is a Silver Sebright. We live with our foster parents on a small farm in the country.  We thought that we would put our take on life and what we get up to through the year into a diary for you. All the characters are real and the events are a true record,  interpreted with a modicum of poetic licence. We hope you enjoy it. Love Gordon and Sylvia
