B is for ...  by sarahhorsfall

B is for ...

baby bird.

I decided I might have a go at continuing the A-Z idea (although not necessarily in 26 straight days!) .. so as I was walking to work this morning I started brainstorming to myself. "B is for ... ball, bike, bus, builder" ... and within minutes I saw this baby bird on top of a hedge. At first I was baffled as to how it had ended up on top of a hedge - there was no tree above that it could have fallen from, the hedge couldn't support the weight of a cat .. then I remembered that magpies do take baby birds from nests. I guess this little one was snatched and then dropped :o( .. bit of a gruesome photo, perhaps ..
..aww, that is a sad B.

@sleepdozer57 @phil_howcroft Sorry for the downer, guys, I'll try and find a more upbeat image for tomorrow!

It is sad, but it's all part of nature and I admire your decision to use the shot. Good for you!

That is quite grim but a good shot nonetheless. Was he alive? Were you able to do anything?

@michellegaynor No, he was beyond help .. not sure I could have done much anyway!

@dulciknit @fitzgibbon @annettea @rainbowsnic42 @moominmomma Thank you for your comments, I did deliberate a little about whether to post a picture of a dead creature, but thought it might be more interesting than another picture of blossom - I've posted plenty of them! :o)
