But all have to visit a waterhole, and there is no need for the pigeons to perch so close to the gull. They aren't relaxing, though. One movement towards them and they'll be off.Ralph Hancockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686354797977020917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-26979477295914419662018-08-26T23:02:49.230+01:002018-08-26T23:02:49.230+01:00Sorry you got wet.

The Heron and the ducklings are looking miserable, and I imagine humans must have thought alike.<br /><br />There is some chance, although very small, that those Whinchats may pass through here while flying down to Africa.A few birds fitted with English rings have been seen while passing through on their way to subtropical Africa.<br /><br />Pigeons are really something. They are relaxing in close proximity to an apex predator.TinĂºvielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794275230697959519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-15585901660786848772018-08-26T20:13:51.551+01:002018-08-26T20:13:51.551+01:00Thanks, will correct.
Judging by today's repo...Thanks, will correct.<br /><br />Judging by today's report on the London Bird Club Wiki, the Whinchats seem to have passed through and are now gone.Ralph Hancockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686354797977020917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-90733867857225275032018-08-26T19:11:52.720+01:002018-08-26T19:11:52.720+01:00Hope you didn't get too wet.

Managed to complete my local patch before the rain began. lovely Whinchats- haven't found any yet.<br /><br />Just for accuracy the Wood Pigeon is in a Pyracantha + not a Cotoneaster- you'd soon notice the difference if you put your arm in it!Conehead54https://www.blogger.com/profile/18423862602236191493noreply@blogger.com
