BIRD NEWS:463




It is not often that I visit a bird reserve without spotting at least one pigeon, and here is the third of the day, after the two wood pigeons already depicted. On my second passing, the shots of the merganzers did include the other variety, although this time they were napping.



I walked right past this male blackbird and he didn't hardly notice me - at first. Even when he did, he just stared. He seemed tame, so maybe someone tossed him a sandwich one day and he learned to trust humans.



He seemed to have no fear at all, so I was able to take some very good close-up shots before wandering onward. My next stop was back with the water rail.
