Smokey stayed away for a couple of days, then came to dine with us again. He seemed quite happy to see me this time and flew straight onto my head when I opened the door. I noticed that he had gotten a piece of cotton tangled about his foot. I hope that was accidental, rather than someone trying to catch him! Luckily it only seemed to be a small tangled piece and was not giving him any bother. He pecked at it a couple times and looked at me as if hoping I might remove it for him. Unfortunately it was rather close to his foot and I would have had to use scissors to remove it. I did not want to risk damaging his leg, so left it to wear off. It looked fairly tatty.
He seemed quite fond of the stale home-made pizza crust I had tossed onto the lawn an hour or so before. Scruff and Bebe2 had been munching at it, but retired since. A gull had swooped down in interest, but upon seeing what it was - basically just dry wholemeal bread - flew away in disgust. Ribster had had a few pecks, and then gone across to the driveway where I had been clearing weeds and began to rummage about amongst the debris hunting for coriander seeds. This photo was taken after Smokey had polished off the pizza and was looking hopefully for more!
If any regular readers wonder where the Corrimal walk photographs are - it poured with rain for 75% of my trip, so I did not get to take any pictures, after all! I did spot plenty of Fairy-wrens, Plovers, rabbits, Swallows, and Gulls though, so hopefully on my next trip in a fortnight, my camera can exit its waterproof case!
