Liz and I saw more show pigeons later on - but they saw us first! We were watching the nuthatches and tits feeding when we were spotted!
They came down to feed by the icy pond sometimes on the wooden edge and sometimes 'skating' across the ice.
Our watching continued - a female grreenfinch was sharing some seed with a nuthatch...
We wandered along a bit and spotted.....
...a perching kestrel!
It sat near the entry to one if the hides....so we watched it for a while before entering.
Then we learned something from an infoborad.
Information? well....I recently learned that the word Seatherny means the serenity one feels when listening to the chirping of birds.
That's a great new word. That's a feeling I have when walking through the Blue Hills. I also love that shot of the kestrel watching the clouds go by.
ReplyDeletei wonder what birds you hear over there....on your wanderings
ReplyDeleteI don't know, but I can look up what kinds of birds live in the Blue Hills and report back.
ReplyDeleteIt turns out that there are a lot. 😀
