On
my second circle, I specifically looked out for story boards
concerning the 12 days of Christmas song. Just before passing a pair
of pigeons, I spotted another board.
Apart
from the missing number 2, I caught all boards on camera. The toads
did not come out well however, due to being too frosty to read
properly. Other than the story boards that regularly change, a look
out board also had a new information topic - waxwings. This is a bird I have yet to see.
Back
to the story boards. I found the information about the carol quite
informative - I had not known that there were so many versions of the
carol or that the version I knew was so connected to birds.
Ahhhh,
a pigeon connection! I already knew that doves and pigeons
regurgitate food in the form of milk to feed their young, as my son
had informed me of this many years ago when we lived in Wollongong
and had young pigeons living on the roof and next door nesting. My
last photo for the post may not be easy to recognize - it is a close
up shot of a female blackbird hunting in the wood chips below the
pigeon signboard.
I didn't know there were different versions of the song either. I'll have to research that.
ReplyDeleteWoodpeckers drumming is certainly appropriate.
agreed... check all the boards i have pictures of - should be 11 of the 12....they might offer some clues as to the other versions...
