Still
at Pulborough Brooks, my first two shots for today show a linnet. The
first one is in need of the second close-up shot to identify the
position of the bird, perhaps. I managed to see it quite well using
Liz's binoculars, and took a photo 'just in case' it came out clear enough, but...
Now,
back to those dove/pigeons. Well, there is a city pigeon hanging out
with them, whichever of the two species they are!
There
were quite a flock of them down, rummaging about for under-table
crumbs. With Liz disappeared to fetch our drinks, and John enjoying
the sunshine while pondering just how many photos I might take, I
took rather a lot of photos.
There
seemed to be a large flock, and at one stage Liz counted and we made
the number to be between 16-20. It reminded me of my back yard in
Wollongong, where I had previously lived and housed a pair of
released show pigeons that bred on a neighbors roof, producing 4
lovely birds to entertain me and my son - 3 pure white like these
guys, and one smokey grey. This last shot for today has a pair
attempting romance - well, the guy bird was, but....
Pulborough Brooks is a beautiful place. I hope you get to go on a regular basis.
ReplyDeletewell we might go again sometime - L wanted to walk round the woodland paths on the outside at some point.
