2010-10-25: Day 10 - Spring is upon us

Spring is finally here. The flowers are in full bloom, the birds are singing and the sun is shinning. I'm walking to work appreciating nature whilst having a quiet moment to myself. And the BAM! - Pain in the back of my head. Stunned, my hand reaches up to the site of the pain as I stumble forward a few steps. I turn around to see the bird that just attacked me. None other then the cute but feisty Willy Wagtail!

I would have taken a photo if I wasn't so freaked out and bolted off running.

But for those of you who arn't sure what my attacker looks like - this is a photo I found on the net.



Hours later.....

I'm still flustered by the 'incident'.

My only source of comfort.....

  3. @Gav - Thats a spoon in my icecream silly.

    @Chris - I read online Willy Wagtails are very territorial :( I'm really paranoid now.

  4. Maybe you should introduce the cat to the bird... let nature take its course... it's not cruel if it's nature you know
