Curio
is a bit of a day dreamer at times, as can be seen in these photos.
She gathers up nesting material busily, then sits around doing
nothing. At first, I thought she was just checking to make sure no
predators spot her nesting site, but she rested a long time before
making her move and there did not seem to be any activity other than
sparrows and myself.
Above
is a shot of the teenage wood pigeon, mentioned in my last post. It
is still getting used to me being a 'safe' human, and its
sussing-her-out stance is clearly shown in the first of the two shots
that I took.
We
move on to a shot taken at the end of the third week of April. One
of our pigeons is busy munching in the bird table while a starling
fusses about in the tree above - waiting - and hoping the best bits
are left by the time it gets a chance to have its turn in the cafe
d'oiseau.
Pidge
is busy eating...eating....eating....and eating, however.
I wonder if Curio is thinking about her missing babies.
ReplyDeleteThat teenage wood pigeon has quite an attitude. :D
I doubt it - they don't get attached as such, more like they are overly loving nd protective while mothering them - then, byebye - whether to death or shooing them away to prepare for another brood.
