Its a long while since I have completed a 'From the Window' post.
However, two Woodpigeons were feasting on the emerging buds and leaves of the Flowering Cherry Tree and this presented an opportunity for a few shots. Normally when shooting through double glazing its best to place the lens at right angles up against the glass. The problem was that the Woodies were close enough to the window that this would have scared them off.
So the result was not such clear images, but you get the general idea.
Woodies are adept at climbing and hanging on to tiny little twigs that hardly bear their weight.
Is there nothing these birds don't eat?
ReplyDeleteThe short answer John., "No" The longer answer, "Absolutely nothing". :)
DeleteSuper shots of this beautiful pigeon.. Cheers
ReplyDeleteThanks Ana.
DeleteExcellent photography, as usual, Roy.
ReplyDeleteOnly TWO?...errm!..do you want some more, you're very welcome to take 'my garden' gang of Woodies, and their mates the Collared Dove gang, adept you say...they're certainly adept at emptying my garden feeders within thirty minutes of me filling them!!....[;o{
Thanks Trevor.
DeleteNo thats alright Trevor you hang on to them, they like you anyway.:)
Ihania lintuja! Niiden ääntä on jo ikävä!
ReplyDeleteKiitos Anne. Meillä on paljon täällä ympäri vuoden.
DeleteHi Roy,
ReplyDeleteDid you see the Red-throated Diver on Gunwade Lake today? It`s been there for a couple of days. It`s in winter plumage so can be confused with Gt Crested Grebe at a distance as it has a white throat.

Thanks for the info Paul, have emailed you.
DeleteVery beautiful pictures Roy, it's an amazing bird !
ReplyDeletewe have a group of about 50 pigeons at the bottom of the property.
Bye
Thanks Nath.
DeletePigeons may be common birds but they are certainly not 'ordinary'.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lucy, yes they are very clever birds.
