Back
to those dancing pigeons. Here they go....dance guys dance!
Of
course, they did not dance all the time, and one of the gang soon
spotted that I held something 'edible' in my hands and became more
interested in me than his friends.
It
came parading about in circles, getting closer and closer...then
zoned in on a crumb and munched! Meanwhile, its friends were still
dancing and courting on the path a little way away...
Whereas
the Worthing beach gang have gotten to know me a little, if not well,
to these Shoreham dancers, I was a total stranger. I wonder if they
will recognize me the next time I pop along...
This
friendly, brave one started hanging about after the first crumb or
two fell off my lap and it was not long before the others followed
suit and came to investigate, also enjoying the meal from the few
crumbs I dropped.
Next
time I visit Shoreham, I will take a pot of seed with me, I think...
One of
the most-used medicinal herbs in history, calendula has been the
stuff of legend, and not just for ailments. In the Middle Ages, it
was rumored that if a girl walked barefoot on calendula petals, she
would be able to understand the songs of birds. Read more HERE.
I love these pictures, especially the second one. That's what I'd look like if I tried to dance: A flapping bird. :D
ReplyDeleteYeah, they amused me too - a lot more animated than the Worthing beach gang!
