2:49pm I saw an intruder fly by but wasn't fast enough to catch it. Pa flew off shortly after

2:29p - Grooming his chest feathers. Such a pretty boy.


2:38p - A lot of looking skyward this way and that way.


2:48p - Warning trills at an intruder, then he goes chasing.

2:49p - Dad out after the intruder. Look at that nice full crop!


3:00p - Ever alert Dad scanning for intruders from his lookout perch.


HI Jo! - Very nice catch of Dad giving chase.
I have to go for a bit so hope you're still here.
