Default I should have had my camera with me...

Click before reading.

Sitting in the town centre park on a bench with a cup of coffee I turned to my right to see a scruffy-headed blackbird land on the back of the bench. He stared at me, I stared at him. We stared again. We stared some more and I could hear some of that spaghetti western 'stand-off' music in my head.

I thought "Damn, and I was going to bring my camera, but decided against it", he thought " She's not packing - got her!!!". He gave me one more stare , turned his back, wiggled his bum at me and jumped off to find something more interesting in the flower bed.

Damnation!

LOL, isn't that always the way.

ROFL - Thanks, Rolf - good-one!

Yes Chocky, my phone does have a camera, but it's not a hig hquality one and is less use than a chocolate teapot - at least you could make choccie sauce from that
