Gone fishin........

 
Today my cat has been almost driven to distraction by 3 fledgling jackdaws which this morning exited their nest in one of my chimneys.  They've spent much of the day practising their fairly ropey flying techniques in the branches of an old apple tree in the shade of which, when Grace's climbing ropes aren't needed, we have a table and chairs.  Dennis has spent his day sitting on and stalking up and down the table screaming with frustration and keeping a very watchful eye on these muppet birds in hopes that one will be clumsily foolhardy and land close enough to be caught and dispatched.
He had a taster of baby blue tit around dawn and wants more.  
 
I'm glad to say that he's been disappointed and the little jackdaws have transferred to the top of the large oak tree bordering the paddock.  Dennis knows where they are but so far it seems he just can't be arsed to follow.  Well, it is very hot!
