One
of my last photos from the between bus wait in Worthing is of the
seagull watching the pigeons. I do have a couple more pictures of the
turnstones to share before ending the pictures from this excursion
though.
The
very next day, I was off out again - this time with Liz to Pulborough
Brooks. I only took a couple of pictures on this trip. The first is
of a bird of prey we spotted on our wanderings along a footpath that
lead from the RSPB reserve to Pulborough. On our return trip we found
it sitting on a post. The photo makes it look like a wood pigeon -
but thru binoculars it was seeable as a bird of prey.
We
later discovered that the first one we had seen was a marsh harrier,
with a later sighting of a buzzard. Earlier still we had seen both
buzzard and red kite - so this trip was definitely a good one for
spotting birds of prey! Regular readers may guess that this
destination would result in a couple of show pigeon pictures, as it
did.
The
first shot shows a city pigeon on the pigeon hole roof and two white
show pigeons further along, while my final photo from this trip shows
3 show pigeons enjoying the fresh water recently poured into the bird
bath by a staff member.
My
next excursion relative to birds was to Findon sheep fair with Liz
and Megan in early September. Obviously there were more sheep than
birds, but there was a birds of prey display that we caught the tail
end of one showing and the start of a second show, and a pair of
tents filled with the birds for me to photograph.
There are a couple of birds on THIS path!
I like that bird of prey tent, with everyone just waiting for the waiter to deliver their meal. :D
