Wood pigeons are throatilly humming their contented coo and Bob Robin looking scruffy after the moult,is cheekily helping himself to the dog's grub. Insects of various kinds are mobbing the various insects friendly flowers we planted for them.

Those pics have my adrenalin going. I used to do a lot of goose shooting. Once took out 9 pinks with two shots. I love to hear and watch them now. As soon as the shooting season ends, they immediately become much more tame and easy to observe. Don't ask me how they know, but they absolutely do. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have been up every morning since I got here before dawn just to listen to hundreds heading south,and walked an estuary yesterday listening and watching fish jump and torpedo through shallows,I appreciate the little things in life. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
