WOOD PIGEONS

[Placido]

I'm kind of relieved to hear that. Seems as though closure has been achieved.

First woodie toady since the snow came. I usually am not short of these funny birds but only have had collie doves since Friday.

One feels something of a voyeur .
Good action shot, Jacksparrow .

Love the fluff and feathers

Now that the trees are in full leaf it's not possible to see the p'nut feeder hanging from the silver birch. I sort of think that's nice and safe for the little birds.
This morning early a woodie was somehow hanging onto a downward drooping branch and managing to extract nuts from the feeder.
I always imagined they were a bit daft .

Woodies do appear to be a little dim but their success and increasing numbers are at odds with that. They are a major pest for farmers but I think the ones that visit gardens are of a different ilk and in my garden they have never given me cause to wish they were elsewhere.

So many woodies around this year.
Rounded a corner on two wheels this morning in the VW veteran speedster and there were four of them, sitting equidistant all across the road. 'Twas like a student protest of the '60s ....

Took me back

I hope the "protesters" were spared the ultimate sacrifice for their cause.
PS Have you reported the theft of the two wheels from your VW speedster?
