WHO IS LOOKING AT WHO?

Our Friendly Fiscal continues to delight us daily by eating food from our hands or helping itself from a small dish on the table if we are having tea or a meal outside. On this particular occasion though the fiscal hopped onto a pair of binoculars before there was any food in sight:

So great was its anticipation – the little white dish had been left out over night and was empty!

This dear bird has taken to waiting on the steps as soon as it hears or sees me unlocking the french doors that lead into the garden. It sometimes flaps its wings in a ‘begging’ manner or makes tiny sounds, drawing attention to its need to be waited upon – regardless of whether or not there is already suitable food on the feeding tray!
