BIRD NEWS:621

 



As we continued to stroll around the RSPB Reserve, we spotted an open-air feeder site - and a nuthatch.



I took a lot of photos, as I was unsure if the camera would take a good one or not.



Although my next shot is mostly the scenic view - I did manage to catch a magpie in the field.



My next shot was supposedly the bird on top a tree. I wanted to recall its coloration and shape for ID purposes - but my camera did not want me to. I have investigated and am going with a marsh warbler....but am not 100% sure.



My last shot from this trip is of 2 show pigeons. The reserve used to house a multitude, but they did not seem to be there this trip. Maybe covid restrictions or some other matter had them moved elsewhere....



This feather stood out as beautiful, soIi took its photograph, even if it was no longer attached to its creator.



It began our next adventure - to Leonardslee. Liz and I seem to become members of all sorts of places this year - making the most of membership being a pay once enter all year treat, and Saturdays now being our shared day trip date. Here is a pheasant I spotted not long after the pretty feather.

  1. That's a beautiful feather and those show pigeons are amazingly white.

  2. yes show pigeons can be all white - like magicians birds.....but they also have fancy feathered varieties and fancy colored ones, like the ones we had in Wollongong.
