The Grey Thrush Shrike is a good colour match for my old RS seat

They even liked my old bike boots.
This thrush came to me one day when I was working on my RS in the shed. It landed on the concrete shed floor about four feet away from me and just stood there looking up at me for a couple of minutes. I said hello and had a bit of a chat because it was quite unusual.
Next thing it's building a nest on top of my old seat, and it did so the next year. Then it went to my boots for about three years after that. They still nest in the shed but I tossed the old memento boots and made a single RS seat out of the old one.
Maybe it was an RS rider in a previous life. 😄
