What's Buzzin' or Flying Near You Today..? MK 3..

An hour ago, I was sat on the patio bench with a cuppa and my tame male black bird came gip gip gipping over to me about 5 ft away in a corner of the border.
The next second, a large grey/brown whoosh of feathers and the squawking blackbird struggles up, up and away followed by a Sparrowhawk that fortunately veered off up over the rooftops,
and I was just sat there - with my cuppa...

I hope not. But it would be just my sort of luck!

 

Some lovely pictures WOO. Looks like your enjoying your new camera!

 

Earlier this week I became aware of a tap tap noise at the end of the garden and eventually tracked it down to a blue tit tapping at a mirror on one of the walls. He/she's been at it all week and still hasn't grasped reality.

Super shot of the ferral pigeons Woo!!!

 

Thanks Shiney, it's years since I last read that

 

I've started doing some voluntary work in the small Garden Centre in Upton Country Park in Poole but before I started today I went around the woodland (with a small bag of bird food). I put some down and just waited to see what turned up, nothing startling but just enjoyable sitting and watching them.
I've not bothered naming them as you all know what they are, if you don't- shout.

 

Then you'll know this one too Shiney. I used to recite it.

A muvver was barfin 'er biby one night,
The youngest of ten and a tiny young mite,
The muvver was poor and the biby was thin,
Only a skelington covered in skin;

etc, etc.
