Today,
I will begin the photo sharing with a shot of Beatie munching
minuscule bugs from my window pane. She came along to the tree with a
host of youngsters and fluttered onto the sill and window for a
while, munching away - including at the bugs in a web in the crack on
the top open window.
Next
up, I emptied the peanut container onto the table and refilled it -
within five minutes we had 2 customers munching stale peanuts on the
table - a pair of starlings and a pigeon.
Time
was getting on and I had not made a trip to visit my monthly bird
friends in Worthing and Lancing. Having a PT job most Saturdays for
30-60 minutes means I have to select my trip dates with less options now. Along came a
free weekend, although due to a major incident at Shoreham airport,
the 700 buses were unreliable.
I
took a chance and took the bus as far as Worthing, which was fine.
However, I did not linger on the beach, but walked to Lancing - just
in case the 700's stopped at Worthing as they had the day before.
Luckily - at that stage - they were running onwards, so I could have
bussed anyways, but it gave me the chance to spend 30 minutes at
Lancing Beach instead of Worthing this trip. What should I see - but
big black birds...
A big black bird on a nice pebbly beach. That's a great picture. He looks like he's showing off his profile. :D
ReplyDeletei only wish i could ID those birds a bit better.
ReplyDeleteMaybe there's a local bird watchers' club or something that could help.
ReplyDeleteMaybe.... probably better to buy a new bird ID book that covers all species with decent photos instead of cartoon-style drawings...
