The Detroit of Gardens


The white glow on the 1st pole to the left is the bird

Instead of 'drive by shootings', I now have 
'Fly By Peckings'!

Resting in a tree above my garden is this cute little nest belonging to some simple little bird.

It must have recently laid eggs because  I went outside yesterday and this little guy was resting on the fence, really close to Sienna, odd for a bird to go right up to a dog.
In the top left is the nest, directly over the garden

Seconds later WHOOSH, this bird swoops down and pecks her. She runs, and WHOOSH, it swoops down, I turn, and smack, he flew right into me.

Sienna barking at the bird

I scream, Dan comes out and of course he doesn't believe me.
and then
WHOOSH, swoops down to Dan.

As if that wasn't ridiculous enough I went out to the garden today and the bird is waiting for.

I am now frightened to be out in the garden.

I bend down to weed and he dive bombing me.

Late afternoon and he is still watching me
