Back
home, I managed to get 2 shots of the young robin despite the wind
blurring one attempt. It seems to know that food appears on my sill,
so may be a regular one day.
Of
course, being back home, it was not long before another pigeon-photo
opportunity arrived. Bubster-Pidge settled down on his favored branch
to meditate whilst I read for a while before work in the first week
of June.
It
was still the first week of June when I took these next two shots as well.
Bubster-Pidge had been meditating in the tree while I took a nap, it
seems. I reached for my camera as a ''whoosh'' - a young jackdaw
appeared nearby. Bubster-Pidge was a little unsure of this bird,
about the same size as him but a very different color... The young
Jackdaw ignored him altogether and preened then rested. They both sat
there for a few minutes.
It
was the middle of the first week of summer/June when I had a phone
call - inviting me - and my wheelchair-pushing hands - to join in on
an excursion with 'the wheelchair gang' to Arundel. Between viewing
the carpet of flowers display at the cathedral and a coffee date we
walked past the River Arun where I called a short halt to grab a
picture or two of some black-headed gulls - with brown heads...
Nice shot of the black-headed gull with the bridge in the background. The robin, too. That's a plump pigeon. :D
ReplyDeleteYeah, Bubster-Pidge puffs himself out and sits like that a lot. Its mostly feathers though, not fat!
