I love sitting in the garden early morning hearing the dawn chorus of our wonderful birds, so therapeutic:)

Still plagued by a flock of fat lazy good for nothing wood pigeons.

Always enjoy listening to Tweet of the Day on Radio 4 on weekday mornings. Hadn’t appreciated that the Goldfinch had come so close to extinction in the U.K. on account of our Victorian ancestors’ passion for caging them for their song. Such a beautiful bird and one with rich symbolism.

Just watched a pair of goldfinches tucking away at the Niger seeds in my garden.
Later in the year they will bring their kids too.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

On a lighter note...took the dogs out this morning and the disgusting creature we have, namely Chester, a Black Labrador, has just eaten a dead chick that was on the pavement and clearly it was his divine right to do so. It's his second this year. He must like them.

Moved a few perennials in the garden to give them more space.
Blackbirds are now having a field day picking at the insects and bugs upturned.

Very common round here, they tend to call em turkey buzzards. They are huge and by christ are they ugly.

Pair of Cardinals on my feeder. Despite them being red they are good looking birds.

Plenty of badgers waiting by the window last night , foxes sat further down waiting patiently , no babies yet but soon

Cardinals are great looking birds. Not as nice as Blue jays though, obviously.
A pair have been hanging around our cedars for the past few weeks.
They had chicks in the lilac bushes a couple of years ago.

I've always had a fondness for corvids. So intelligent. And loving.

My favorite in this family of birds is the Raven. Large, black. loyal, caring, loving, intelligent.

I’m in deepest darkest Mississippi at the moment, the wildlife at the house we’re staying at is pretty different to home. Cardinals, Blue Jays, Ospreys, herons, Armadillos, Raccoons, all kinds of great Flora and Fauna

Three pileated woodpeckers scrapping in a tree on Sunday.
