Most days there is at least one fat Wood Pigeon waddling round the lawn picking up any seed it can find.
You can't have missed the constant noise from another bird. A House Sparrow was in the bushes nearby and carried on for several minutes. That is the sound of just one with another replying from the hedge just over the lane from me. Sometimes there are dozens in that hedge all kicking up the same din.
The feeders I placed near the bottom of the garden are starting to attract a few visitors. Here a Great Tit is holding sunflower seed hearts between its feet while it pecks pieces off to eat.
Have a great weekend watching the wildlife around you.
Good Morning John - my cat likes to watch your videos with me. She requests more house sparrows, please! cheers, Wilma
ReplyDeleteThe dog enjoyed the sparrows, thanks John.
ReplyDeleteNice reading, and great footage.
ReplyDeleteAh well John if the weather is going to be as bad as the weather man says, then we can always watch your great videos.
ReplyDeleteThe Wood Pigeons are good at clearing up the dropped seed aren't they. They do a grand job here too.
ReplyDeleteThat Great Tit is certainly working hard for his food. Lovely clip John.
On thing is for sure, Wilma, there are plenty of House Sparrows here to film. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat makes cats and dogs enjoying the sparrow, Adrian. I hope you have survived the storms without too much trouble.
ReplyDeleteThank you Gary, Jen and Ruby for visiting and your kind comment.
ReplyDeleteThank you Roy - flattery will get you everywhere ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Keith. The pigeons and the Collared Doves do a great job clearing up and dropped seed.
ReplyDeleteThe tit families all seem to have to work hard to get enough food. Blue Tits, Great Tits and Coal Tits all seem to use the same method.
Lovely stuff John but I couldn't help thinking that the Great Tit was expending more calories than it was consuming!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jan. Well, at least the Great Tit only had to stretch a bit to grab the next seed. Those which fly in, grab a seed, and fly back to a bush each time do seem to use a lot of energy just getting a bite to eat.
