It's of no moment but the pigeons and long-tailed tit pictures have swapped places.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10529596094957534682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-43351213433824584952020-04-20T00:35:34.240+01:002020-04-20T00:35:34.240+01:00I don't think the Coot has made a conscious ch...I don't think the Coot has made a conscious choice. The rock was the only flat surface anywhere near. But it's not a bad place if the chicks can be kept to the back under the wall of the larger rock which protects them from swooping gulls.Ralph Hancockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686354797977020917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-50428420987600832952020-04-20T00:24:13.151+01:002020-04-20T00:24:13.151+01:00Well, the pot has the distictive advantage of bein...Well, the pot has the distictive advantage of being capable of rolling. I'd prefer it too if I were a gull.<br /><br />Perhaps Long Tailed Tit chicks are silent? Adults are quiet enough when they are on their own. Great that the little gosling has survived another day. Perhaps we will get lucky this time.<br /><br />Do we have an innovative/adaptable Coot on our hands? It has apparently chosen to continue to use the rock rather than build a nest. That's capability of independent thought, at least for a Coot.TinĂºvielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794275230697959519noreply@blogger.com
