Squirrel heist

Either the blackbird escaped or it was another male bird who was pecking at the cherry I put out this morning. I kept wanting to shout, "Look behind you!" in case the sparrowhawk was keeping watch, but instead, the blackbird had another enemy to contend with. A grey squirrel that lolloped across the lawn and mugged the blackbird for the fruit, then buried it in the lawn. I don't know who was the more surprised, the blackbird or me.
