I think I have a new friend.

Last evening, when I was getting the sheep to bed, I saw this little chap (?) sitting on a rock very close to me.  He was very close and didn’t seem to want to fly away, just kept coming back to me, a few feet away.

Girl or boy?  What do you think?  And is it this year’s fledgling or an older adult.

And then I saw him (he will be a he unless proven otherwise) again this morning, sitting next to me on a gate.  I think it is the same bird and, again, not scared of me and was just around while I was doing stuff.  Most strange.

I just pray others don’t take advantage of wee bird’s apparent tameness and obviously I now need a name for him.

They both have form on the bird front and I would be sad if they succeeded.

I’ve not had a proper bird friend. At the moment, I am mostly just sworn at.
