Garden delights

Sitting in the garden with the chickens should be a relaxing, pleasurable pursuit.   But it can also be a hazardous occupation!   During the course of watching them yesterday evening I was:

• Dive bombed by 3 collared doves.  Of course it may just have been the same one having oodles of fun at my expense. 

• Dive bombed by a kamikaze wasp.  He won;  I moved to the other end of the bench.

• Shouted at by a robin for moving to the other end of the bench and being too close to the wild bird food.

• Attacked by every midge for miles around. 

 The final insult was when poo from a passing bird flying overhead landed with a splat on my shoe!   Still, I suppose it could have been worse .......
