BIRD NEWS:55

Here is Bubster-Pidge, looking in at me from the most favored branch again. Just a moment from the first week in June 2015 at home before proceeding with snaps of my next trip. I took another walk up the local Highdown Hill and of course, took my camera with me.

This first shot did not come out very clearly, because with high pixel count and double zoom it still was too far away to get a clear shot. However, you might spot a blob in the skies - and I can tell you that it is a bird of prey, probably a buzzard hovering and soaring above me in the skies.

The next shot is of a group of those 'large black birds' that I remain unable to identify properly. As I walked a little further along they flew down behind me on the path, so I stopped to take a couple of shots before moving on.

Back at home, during the first two weeks of the early summer young blackbirds, sparrows and jackdaws filled the yard. Mr Black and Curio began to drop their looks as molting season began. yet you could still tell the desperate 'food please!' look in their eye if they rested on the tree, peering in at me hopefully.
