It may be been mystified annoyance at what I was doing squatting on the ground. She knows me very well, as I have been photographing her for over five years -- but always standing up, and she is used to that.Ralph Hancockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686354797977020917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-65804631219415668592017-06-09T00:51:52.562+01:002017-06-09T00:51:52.562+01:00Starlings certainly like sweet things, to judge by...Starlings certainly like sweet things, to judge by their appetite for cake left on outside tables at the park restaurants.<br /><br />The white-faced Blackbird had a mate and a nest, but I haven't seen any young and maybe the nest was predated.Ralph Hancockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686354797977020917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-33437867693397411632017-06-08T22:10:25.710+01:002017-06-08T22:10:25.710+01:00I second everyone's happiness with the videos....I second everyone's happiness with the videos. They are lovely to watch. I would never have imagined that you didn't have a tripod in the Little Owl video. You have such a steady hand! <br /><br />It was very enjoyable seeing the Little Owl's pupils growing larger and smaller. Great details.TinĂºvielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794275230697959519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-27216482648841373712017-06-08T21:49:59.449+01:002017-06-08T21:49:59.449+01:00Nice post Ralph.

Last year a family of the Starlings in the gutter opposite appeared, and they were really quite wide!<br />Is the white-faced Blackbird breeding?Arjun Duttahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12428937191960058515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-7633447043443682562017-06-08T20:23:13.334+01:002017-06-08T20:23:13.334+01:00The leaf seems to be from the plant behind the rab...The leaf seems to be from the plant behind the rabbit on the right of the picture. I'm no good at plants, and don't know what it is. It took the rabbit about two minutes to get through, a long time considering how sharp their teeth are.Ralph Hancockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686354797977020917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-25577491684112323172017-06-08T20:20:46.921+01:002017-06-08T20:20:46.921+01:00and it seems a surprising choice of leaf!
