BIRD NEWS:353 and info

This lil fellow was not enjoying the warm sunshine as much as I was. This is how dark feathered birds such as this blackbird cope with heat. They fluff up, rest, and open their beak wide.

I wandered past the puffed up blackbird and into the woodland hide. Oftentimes I might see a moorhen or duck munching dropped food from the hanging feeders that the tits and finches have dropped. This time....it was a family of geese!

Make that 2 families of geese. One greylag goose family and one Canadian goose family, I think.

...with a moorhen.

I wandered along further - who is that hiding behind the log?

Finally, some info on the gray wagtail HERE.
