Watching the birds

For the past couple of weeks I have been waking up early every morning, at around 5 am, which is both a blessing and a curse. I like to be up early in the summer, I feel like I’m getting a head-start on the day. The downside is that since I still go to bed at the ‘normal’ time of between 11 and midnight, after a week or so I’m struggling to function!
But anyway today I was up early and decided to take advantage of the time and get some work done before the rest of the family got up. Also before the neighbours’ gardener arrives and starts work with his array of noisy power tools
It was lovely and quiet and I did quite well apart from one thing – first thing in the morning is when the birds literally flock to the garden for breakfast so every couple of minutes I found myself grabbing the binoculars to check on exactly what was out there!
Still there are worse distractions… I’m almost finished now!

I do not think they are distractions. I in fact spend time watching birds frolicking in our bird bath

I hope the gardener is not waking up your household, or someone might need a chat about appropriate times to start work. I understand schedules, but once my neighbor below used a power saw at 6am, and we had to have one of those chats. Not surprisingly, I was not the only neighbor who chose to speak with him.
Your birdie friend is adorable, and I only wish I had also seen it’s friends.

I also watch the sparrows when they come to my balcony to eat the birdfeed
