Trespasser. by happypat

Trespasser.

The three hens from the house opposite used to come in our garden all the time,scratching in the flower beds & nicking the bird food.
Harry took some netting round to put at the bottom of their gate & up til now it has worked a treat, however this morning I saw this little trespasser hurrying past the kitchen window.
She was making a bee line for the bird table again!

Three good things:
1. A letter from America.
2. A surprisingly good glass of red wine from Aldi.
3. Apple pie for tea although I know I will rue eating pastry.
I say 3 strikes and they would be dinner! lol... great shot though.. really great capture =)

@gazbadger Oh I couldn't ...she is rather sweet & very friendly..she knew she was in the wrong I could tell by the way she was scurrying along!

Well now we know why the chicken crossed the road. To steal! Shocking.

Great photo Granny! I love the fact that you've taken this at the chickens height level! It's a nice natural, crisp shot and to get a shot of an animal with such perfect composition is no easy task - I can speak from my experiences with our chickens and Willow the cat!

Pat, she looks very very intent on her destination!

@guycalledjack Wow thanks Jack...you would laugh if you knew how quickly I took this shot as it ran past...taken on AV too by mistake!!
October 17th, 2013  
@guycalledjack BTW I was sitting on the back door step that's why it was taken low down!
October 17th, 2013  
Oh well caught! Or not!!

Great shot of 'the trespasser' mine come in the shape of pigeons!

Little blighter. We had a chicken that used to escape and would come back home with slices of bread stolen from people's kitchens! She would head off down the road but always returned by dusk. Great chicken shot

She looks extremely determined! Great capture however! Aldi is brilliant for lots of stuff, Peter gets his gin there! I have just given myself indigestion from eating pastry party food :(
October 17th, 2013  
Quick thinking to get this shot - Aldi's own Pimms is great
October 17th, 2013  
Forget the red, their Prosecco is fab!
October 17th, 2013  
@tishpics @jantan I get my gin from there so must try the Prosecco next!!
October 17th, 2013  
@annemary Yes I have tried the Pimms too Anne Mary!
October 17th, 2013  
This is a wonderful shot! Little does the trespasser know that you have her on film. :)
Pat, I read your last post about your issues with pastry...have you ever tried gluten free flour when baking? I know a lot of people with digestive issues say gluten-free is the way to go.
This fabulous shot of the interloper from next door is an absolute fav!
October 17th, 2013  
Love that one claw up! Great focus
October 17th, 2013  
@fueast LOL - you're on fire tonight! I love this - she looks so determined and she gave you a lovely shot. I miss 'A letter from America'!
October 17th, 2013  
Great photo. She sounds like a persistent one.
October 17th, 2013  
Great shot Pat ,but what a determined look has this red hen !!and her stance suggests a quick march !! Lucky to be at eye level with a hen !! lol .
October 17th, 2013  
Caught in the act lol
October 17th, 2013  
Love this Mum! x
October 17th, 2013  
@floralchick Cute isn't she Lesley!
October 17th, 2013  
Unwelcome indeed!
October 17th, 2013  
great catch
October 18th, 2013  
She will be getting out the same way each time! Lie in wait for her!
October 18th, 2013  
LOL, she has no idea, but she's not going to stop
October 18th, 2013  
Well I guess she was determined
October 18th, 2013  
She looks a very determined invader.
October 18th, 2013  
darling shot! I think I even see a guilty look on her face!
October 18th, 2013  
Ah ha! A sign saying "Trespassers will be roasted and served with potatoes" might do the trick! A terrific shot though!
October 18th, 2013  
I agree she does look determined and knows shouldn't be where she is. 😊
October 18th, 2013  
A wonderful capture love chock
October 18th, 2013  
Well caught, Pat. I like the lighting on the feathers, but must admit the words "chicken dinner" also come to mind
October 18th, 2013  
As Arthur I see dinner walking towards me.
October 18th, 2013  
Put up a sign. Trespassers will be plucked, roasted and eaten with roasties and all the trimmings. That should do it. Funny shot!
October 18th, 2013  
Great capture! Pesky thieves!!
October 18th, 2013  
oooh Pat you are on top of your 'phojo' at the moment...another top shot..."Toro Loco" Tempranillo by any chance ?
October 18th, 2013

What a good pic - it actually looks just like you caught her in the midst of stealthy tip-toe across the yard!
October 19th, 2013  
Bless ...... lovely capture.
Aldi wine gets very good reviews! :)
October 20th, 2013
