Yesterday’s plan to arrive in Sheffield early enough to have a decent chance of snapping a bird for this morning’s email was shattered by the reality of travelling on a Saturday during a Bank Holiday weekend. The outing we managed was too late and too short, and I was just about to give up when I noticed this Blackbird sitting on a chimney. While I was trying to find the right angle to get some trees into the backdrop, the bird yawned — something I had never seen before. Then, a few seconds later, it yawned again, and I managed to capture it in this photo.
