BIRD NEWS:349




A video ends my Arundel excursion taken late May. The video shows either courtship/mating behaviour or some such display of a blue beaked duck.

Back home, and Bubster Pidge lazed on the sill with what was left of my birthday flowers from Liz.


Late May and Early June had the garden filled with an abundance of baby birds. My next set of photographs were taken of the blue tit family - second lot - from the nesting box. This was the first time I had seen the youngsters out of the box, and here they were hanging round the feeder pole with parents...


...learning how to feed for themselves, but mostly waiting to be fed with that familiar 'wing-flap/beak open' stance that many birds have at that age.

  1. Well, that was a sexy video. :D

    I really love the pictures of Bubster on the sill behind the orange flowers, especially the second one. It looks like a painting. And the backyard always looks beautiful this time of year.

  3. most locals expect a neat and tidy yard or conreate for a car to go on - not wilderness!
