Anytime I spot a pigeon, out pops the camera...
Our next trip was to Nymans - a place Liz has been before, but that I have not. We found an ornamental bird depiction to start my bird-cameraing.
OOOh....was that a pigeon poking its head out of the bird-box?
No.... Another artificial bird - a fake pigeon - peeped out of the dove cot.
Carved wooden owls - well, there were plenty of fake birds, and lots of sounds of real ones, but...when would my camera find a real one? It missed the green woodpecker that flew thru the woodland on our post-garden walk. But then we toured the larger woodland area and...
A whole pile of ducks sunning themselves, oblivious to us and a gentleman we stopped to have a conversation with.
However, soon afterwards, an off-leash dog shot up barking and scattered them all from their peaceful doze. The ducks did not fear humans, but they did not feel serene or safe with the racing dog.
Another piece of artwork finishes today's post - a kingfisher depicted in wood.
Nymans looks pretty cool. Paths, a lake, and nice old-fashioned buildings.
