World cup fever

Doing my best to concentrate on other things, for the time being at least. This sketch is looking towards Darfield from Old Moor RSPB nature reserve. On a warm day, time stands still, a real lazy, hazy summer day.

Back in the garden, for the last couple of days a male blackbird has been feeding 3 very tame (and fat) fledglings on the patio. Very kindly, he has been feeding them snails. I think I've read that male robins take over the feeding duties so that the female can incubate a second clutch of eggs, so I wonder if it's the same with blackbirds.
