This
pair cleaned up the seat of human dropped edibles, while the table
was also being attended to. These birds made very good mini vacuum
cleaners - and made so much nicer a noise!
This
one landed down beside me on the seat - just in case any crumbs had
been left behind by the others....
They
even cleaned up the ground below the table...
Back
home, and the second full week of April began. The usual crowd were
in the back yard, including Pidge - whom you can also see in the picture
below if you don't miss him for flowers and weeds. He was pecking for
scraps below the bird feeder pole.
Alas,
this is the shot I got when taking a photo of the bluetit parent
feeding its young thru the nesting box hole. I had to wait a few more
days before getting a better shot.
There is some INFO HERE about the goldcrest.
I love how the birds get along so well with humans and share their food.
ReplyDeletei like how pigeons are politer than some other birds when pinching left overs!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, the seagulls here will gang up on you and try to take the French fries right out of your hands.
