He was, but he always kept his beady eye open to make sure Posy the cat 
wasn't creeping up on him.
This Blackbird is not at all timid. The other day I heard squawking 
coming out of the garage, took a look and 'freed' a young Blackbird from 
the workbench (only to prevent it becoming a source of free guano). I 
was met by an agressive bundle of screeching black feathers (already 
inside the garage and at eye level) when I carried the little one out of 
the door and into the garden. The bird and its mate also terrorize the cat.
Thanks for taking a look
Douglas
