What's Buzzing or Flying near you today.... 2014

Blimey, just been reading about that Ian

 

Looks like a Long-tailed tit there Shiney.

 

Bit too yellow for that isn't it?

 

If this is your racing pigeon him/her is going to be late, been here for 3 days now

 

Have you fed him/her Jiffy?

 

No, there is food out on the lawn if him/her wants it, but it likes sitting on the roof then go for a fly around and back to sitting on the roof

 

I had one come into the kitchen, gave it some food and water, stayed for a while then went on it's way

 

This reminds when I rescued one a couple of years ago , it was so thin I had to put the food in its mouth for 3 days , I rang the pigeon rescue and gave them the number and they gave me the owners number to ring which I did but he lived so far away I kept it for 6 weeks and it wanted to fly out of the cage so I let her out early the next morning, following day the guy that owned it rang me up to tell me she had got home safely that was 150 miles not bad

Bad news from Geordie land, the Swallows seem to have deserted us. Downhill all the way now until next spring

 

Did they take the coconuts with them?

 

It's probably one of my brother's! Once they have fed themselves up they usually make for home......well most do. We are in the middle of the racing season at the moment so if anyone manages to get hold of a bird and can read or photograph it's rings I will contact my brother for you and he will trace it.
