I
left off with a shot of Curio on the veg marking post - and here is a
second shot of her, in a better position for once. She is surveying
the territory, searching for nesting material - second nest of the
season underway!
These
two shots were taken a few minutes later on the same day. I spotted a
starling munching in the bird table, and went along with my camera to
try to get a couple of shots - and to learn if it was the bread, suet
ball, or cheese it favored. It turned out to be the huge chunk of
cheese. This is no longer a huge chunk, due to multiple pecks, of
course...
My
next target for the camera was a group of sparrows who were climbing
over the rose bushes that climb the arch. a half dozen or so of them
were on and off it over the course of 5 minutes and I managed to get
a few interesting shots, including the first one where Tapper was
observing, ready to fly up...
...and
this shot of a hiding Spadge, while a starling bum shows my previous
photographic subject was still at his luncheon. My penultimate shot
for today is of one cheeky fellow doing a Naboo impersonation -
HIDING from my camera!
And,
finally, two sparrows investigate the rose bush for tiny bugs to
munch - with the appearance of an ornamental duck for a bonus!
Hah. I don't think we've ever seen that duck before.
