The
jay is still visiting us. In this next action shot picture you can
see how it has leapt from the peanut feeder to the pole to munch a
nut - it will soon be back for another nut, and another, and
another....
Akin
to a squirrel or blue tit, it may take a nut in its mouth/beak, reach
a perch, then paw the nut, nibbling at it til its munched up. The
first full weekend of July, I spent ten minutes at the summer fayre.
That is where they have a birds of prey display and sometimes show -
though whether they showed them in flight or not, due to the hot
weather, I am uncertain. However, there were birds there to be seen.
On
the Sunday, I was out on a far longer excursion hiking along the
River Arun with Liz. We spotted a pair of buzzards, though by the
time I recalled I had a camera and took it from my backpack, they had
gone a little further away. Welcome to a pair of blurry buzzard
pictures, sigh...
The jay pictures came out really good. And the birds of prey are cool. I wouldn't want them to find me appealing. :D
ReplyDeleteI wish the jay still visited - havent seen it all week.
