They are not called <i>Tachybaptus</i> for nothing. They just disappear instantly.<br /><br />Herons like vantage points from which to survey fish or, in this case, rats.<br /><br />Yes, it is the same Coal Tit. I was surprised, as I thought it would never pluck up the courage to come to the hand.Ralph Hancockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686354797977020917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-50341966368867021842018-04-08T03:09:25.212+01:002018-04-08T03:09:25.212+01:00No, I must go.

The most I have seen there was 8, but that was several weeks ago.

Is it in any danger?<br /><br />I wonder what do Herons see in that sculpture...<br /><br />Is that the same Coal Tit that was too shy to come to the hand previously? If it is, well done, Johanna!TinĂºvielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794275230697959519noreply@blogger.com
