The
youngster pigeon with tameness and curiousness was sitting in the
tree early May. It then swooped down onto the sill and began to
munch. I took a few shots, but none came out very well - except the
last one. It had finished munching seed and decided to take a peek in
at me.
The
first week of the new month had turned spring from delightful and
real spring into rainy and real spring, also turning a tad colder again.
Still, much activity was going on in the yard. I was cooking my lunch
one day in the first few days of May when I spotted a group of
starlings all enjoying the water tub at the same time. Luckily I had
my camera in my hands before they left and managed to take some shots
of them enjoying the water.
The
starlings have been quite active of late, although only two seem to
have swooped down for suet pellets as soon as suet and seed appeared
on the sill.
Later
that evening, the youngster wood pigeon without fear was in the tree
again - looking, hopefully at my sill...
Wow, everything has turned really green. I love the shots of the four black starlings hanging out in the bird bath with all the lush green plants around, especially the shots with the pond in the background.
ReplyDeleteyes, las the pond can not be cleared o algae nd looks sight - each time i tr i scoop up tadpoles - so have to put algae and tadpoles back! maybe next month...
ReplyDeleteIt looks okay. Lots of ponds have green stuff in them. Is the algae harmful?
ReplyDeleteWe dont have fish, so it isnt crucial to be spotless, but it will be if it starts to stink!
