Ok,
I admit this is not a very good photo - but it is the first baby bird
caught on camera this season - Mr Black was on the sill and I heard
this squeaky noise. On looking, I spotted the baby nearby! Alas,
despite taking two shots, neither came out well - but, we have baby
birds in the yard again!
This
shot is not a good one either - but is of Curio scoffing down
beakfulls of home baked bread on Easter Monday. The second week of
April continued and I was stirring a curry at the kitchen window -
camera ready - and managed to get a few shots.
These
are of Pidge investigating the undergrowth up the side. Later on, I
spotted why he was so obsessed with this area - he was munching the
stale peanuts I had thrown out of the feeder hanging above the path
when I replaced them for the bluetits the day before!
This
last shot for today's post is of Curio standing on the pole in my veg
patch as a marker. More photos of this curry-stirring day will be
found in my next post.
Congratulations on the baby birds. :)
ReplyDeleteI guess all the birds like that marker pole. It's cute when they perch there. :D
One has already been eaten, unfortunately... yes, the robin liked the one near the house in winter - don;t see Mr Bob much at this time of year though. The blackbirds nd starlings like the bigger pole....
ReplyDeleteOh, so sorry about the baby. :(
ReplyDeleteand again - sparrowhawk swooped into the tree anbd snatched another baby blackbird while it was singing near its dad....
ReplyDeleteSo sad. :( I know the sparrowhawk is only doing what comes naturally, but it's a shame anyway.
